Mr. Chair, congratulations, by the way. I look forward to working with you.
This is a bit problematic. We're providing for the parliamentary secretary, which is understandable, and an additional Conservative member as well. I'm the critic for industry, and Mr. Masse is the vice-chair. If we're enlarging the subcommittee, it would make sense to also have the opposition critic. That would still be in keeping with the numbers in the House and would still allow for what Mr. Lake is suggesting. But if the idea is to have a larger subcommittee, as opposed to a subcommittee that's stripped back, it makes sense to have both the parliamentary secretary and the opposition critic.
I understand that Mr. Lake wants to ensure that we're not spending a lot of time at the committee working through the agenda. I certainly agree with that objective; I think we all would on this side. But we need a balanced subcommittee to ensure that.
