“If a party wins most of the seats in the House, it should also have most of the seats on all committees. If a government wins only a minority of seats, committee seats should be divided differently.”
“Mr. Speaker, I spoke about this at length in my speech. The principle is the same: A majority in the House of Commons means a majority on all House committees. A minority situation for a government in the House of Commons would obviously require a re-evaluation and a re-ordering of those committees.”
