So out of a committee of 12, we would actually have just two members present to receive evidence. I don't know how well that represents the committee in its objective of having people, even if there were four members on it. It just seems really slim. You have the chair and two people. I'm not so sure it reflects very well to the witnesses in terms of our being able to receive their presentation.
