It is my understanding that it was exactly the same before prorogation. That was exactly how it worked at the last committee. Since it worked then, I do not see why we would change it.
The only thing I wonder about is when the vice-chairs or their representatives are not present. So, if Claude were not there, Robert would replace him, and if John Cannis were not there, one of the Liberal representatives would replace him. That would all ensure that the committee's work was not held up. If a vice-chair could not attend, a representative of the same party could replace him. This is a point of information.
