Mr. Chairman, as far as I know, you're a member of the Conservative Party. So you represent your party on the committee. Each party is usually represented on a committee, and the Chairman, who is often a member from the party in power, represents his or her party.
As parliamentary secretary, Mr. Jean can provide us with a great deal, since he has a direct link to the minister's office. That's fine with me. As for adding other members, Mr. Chairman, I believe you're a worthy representative of your party and that, if Mr. Jean isn't here, you can raise whatever subjects you wish. That's what I understand.
