Kevin Lamoureux Liberal
“Our rules say a majority government should have a majority on committees, but the Conservatives and the Bloc say no. What other idea does the member have?”
“Mr. Speaker, let us take a look at some of the comments. We have the principle of a majority government, which should also apply to the standing committees, and that is within our rules, and we have the Conservative and Bloc members saying no. A compromise, to the Bloc and the Conservatives, is to say the Liberals cannot have a majority on committees. Is there another suggestion the member would like to make?”
