I believe the purpose of the committee is to hold the executive accountable. So if you're talking about bringing in staff people who are part of the staff of the executive, of government, then I don't think that is appropriate. When we're talking about staff people, we're talking, I would assume, about the staff people to members of Parliament, not staff people to members of the executive council of government.
