Mr. Chair, one question. I agree it should be the parliamentary secretary if he is available. There may be meetings at which he can't appear, and I'm wondering, should there not be some flexibility? This allows for the flexibility to have someone else in that position. Right now, we are all agreeing that it will be Mr. Jean who will be nominated. We'll make a motion to that effect that he would be the member. However, it does take away some flexibility.
