At first glance, I have no objections. However, I would like to say one thing. When committees make arrangements to travel to certain regions of Quebec or Canada to hear from witnesses, I would hope that, out of respect for the witnesses, there would always be at least a few members on hand to hear their testimony. If only half of the members of the committee travel, then that represents a sizeable number of people. I can't imagine a situation where fewer than three members of the committee would travel to a community to hear from witnesses. That's all I wanted to say. I can't imagine that there would ever be a shortage of members at these meetings.
