Mr. Chair, I truly do have confidence in you. You will do an amazing job, as suggested. I think a balance has been achieved. In any event, the members of this committee have always worked very well and the parliamentary secretary will always be free to express his opinion. Besides, we'll always have the option of deciding differently from the steering committee and of moving amendments, if necessary, especially when it comes to the studies that we want to carry out. I don't think we want to upset this balance. Since the four parties are represented on the steering committee, I don't think we need to add anything else. We're ready to vote.
