I would like to respond to that. I think that is the main point we are debating. Each committee operates differently. I was a member of the Standing Committee on International Trade during the last session, and we operated in a different manner. The NDP member asked a question during the first round, the third round, or something like that. Yes, that is the issue. In my opinion, we have to strike a balance. That is why I am saying that it is important for each party to participate in the committee's work, but also that each member be as active as possible, because often there is not enough time for each member to ask a question.
