I've been on finance committee before. It looks like a very good group we'll be working with.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6037320\" data-originallang=\"en\">In terms of quorum, within the context of the minority Parliament I have no problem with the four members, but what I would suggest is that we make it to include at least two members from the government and at least two members of the opposition.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6037321\" data-originallang=\"en\">What that means, when we have four parties, is that there's a significant majority of the parties around the table. It's a small tweak, but I think, in a minority Parliament context, appropriate for this committee. I'm not suggesting changing the quorum minimum of four, just stating that it be two members of the government and two members of the opposition. </p>",

J'ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 fait partie du comit\u00e9 des finances, et je pense que nous avons ici un excellent groupe.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6037320\" data-originallang=\"en\">En ce qui concerne le quorum, dans le contexte d'un Parlement minoritaire, je n'ai aucun probl\u00e8me avec un quorum de quatre membres, mais je sugg\u00e8re d'inclure au moins deux d\u00e9put\u00e9s du gouvernement et au moins deux d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l'opposition.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6037321\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cela signifie, quand nous avons quatre partis, que nous avons une majorit\u00e9 importante des partis \u00e0 la table. C'est un tr\u00e8s l\u00e9ger ajustement, mais je crois qu'il est pertinent dans le contexte d'un Parlement minoritaire. Je ne propose pas de modifier le quorum de quatre membres, mais je propose de pr\u00e9ciser qu'il doit inclure deux membres du gouvernement et deux membres de l'opposition.</p>"
