I don't think I had any particular intent there. We've had hearings where we've had six or eight witnesses in two hours.
It sounds to me like the Liberals are suggesting we're going to spend at least an hour with each one of these witnesses, so we're spending an extended hearing just hearing three people. Other times we've had groups of people. We could put three of them at the table at once and bring three other witnesses.
So it doesn't really matter to us. We're just saying we want to have the same right that the Liberals do to bring witnesses in. The way the motion's worded right now, they get to bring their witnesses, and then everybody else has to wait until the committee decides whether the rest of us get our witnesses or not.
I'm saying let's just open up the witness list. If we want to hear those first three that day, or in that first two hours, or add some others, we can do that. That's what the chairman and the clerk are for. That way we can get some usefulness out of the time we're going to be spending.
