I want to go to Mr. Christopherson next.
It has been the practice of the committee, certainly as long as I've been on it, that anyone attending a meeting of the steering committee can attend with staff, and they usually do, but if we want to put it in a motion, I guess there's nothing wrong with that.
Before we hear from Mr. Christopherson, I'm going to read it again just for clarity. The amendment would include two paragraphs in addition to the paragraph that's before you. First is that a quorum of the subcommittee shall consist of at least three members, one of whom must be from the government and one member of the opposition. Secondly, each member of the subcommittee shall be permitted to have one assistant attend at any meeting of the subcommittee on agenda and procedure.
Mr. Christopherson.
