“Mr. Speaker, the member mentioned the adjustment of numbers of members on committees. I would like to ask her to explain fully, not just to the members on this side of the House but to Canadians, why the government chose to move to a 60% makeup on committees instead of the 51% that it has in the House. Is this to shut down the opposition completely at committee, or is there some other diabolical scheme behind all of this?”

Mr. Speaker, Positioning · 15 wordsI am sure there are no diabolical schemes happening on this side of the House.PositioningUnearned certaintyClaims · 21 wordsI know that there was a decision to make regarding whether Conservatives are removed from each committee or Liberals are added.1Reasoning · 29 wordsMy understanding was that the more well-received path forward was to add Liberals rather than to take away Conservatives so that we could still have robust conversations in committee.
