I am willing to support this motion, particularly since I considered tabling it in the form of an amendment for the following reason: a member can ask a staff person to be in attendance during one of these meetings. Yet, it may happen that we need a specific research analyst, for example somebody from the Bloc Québécois research office. That person could also be from the government side, the NDP, or the Liberal Party. I think that this motion would also cover that possibility.
That is probably how things would unfold if that were to occur. As far as I am concerned, I would be accompanied by someone from the research office.
We can leave it up to each party to determine who may or may not accompany a member to help him in his work.
