That was not the case in the last Parliament.
There is considerable animosity within parties when some members break away to form new parties. Under such circumstances, it's extremely difficult to bring in equitable changes. However, if we follow the lead of other committees on which I've served and set down rules at the beginning of the session and if we proceed according to party representation in the House, rather than actually name the parties, we will ultimately operate in a manner that everyone will considerable equitable.
Remember when some Conservative Party members broke away to form the Bloc Québécois. I don't believe the atmosphere at the time was conducive to a change in committee operating rules.
