Mr. Speaker, it is important to put on the record, as this could be setting a terrible precedent, that committees are masters of their own proceedings. I also want to point out that the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs often allows its striking committee to meet without a quorum and without interpretation but their reports are always accepted.
I think it is very important to put that on the record when you, Mr. Speaker, are considering this matter, and to say that it is no different in this case.
