I obviously know how the vote's going to go. May I suggest we do the same we did last time? The parliamentary secretary sits on the steering committee as an adviser who can bring some guidance to the committee when we're discussing issues on which what's going on in the department might have some influence. We did that last time. That seemed to work. He would sit as a non-voting member on the steering committee. That obviously is subject to the vote we're going to take, and we know how that's going to go.
