Kevin Lamoureux Liberal
“If the Conservatives were in power and gained another seat, they would want a majority on committees too.”
“Mr. Speaker, can the member honestly say that if the party had 172 seats, and then a Liberal walked across the floor, that the Conservatives would not want to make any changes? They would not want to adhere to parliamentary tradition and allow the government to have a majority on a committee, even if they did not have a majority on the floor? That is just silly.”
