Thank you.
I just wanted to respond to Mr. Comartin's point about whether the chair should be the conduit from the government. Quite frankly, from a structural point of view, I don't think that would be particularly wise, in that the chair, in every committee I've attended--at least when the chairs have been Conservative members--to some degree has stood a little bit above the fray and has tried to engage in that degree of impartiality required when mediating among a variety of MPs on a committee.
Quite frankly, I'm happy structurally with Mr. Jean's point that the parliamentary secretary should be doing that job on the subcommittee.
