Mr. Speaker, that is a fine principle. However, I find it rather ironic to hear about parliamentary tradition, given that the composition of committees has always been determined through negotiation and consensus precisely because of that parliamentary tradition. For them to force this change down our throats today and then dare to invoke that principle is a bit much. Those are polite words, because I had other words in mind.
