That's essentially what goes on. There are times when only two of the three Liberals speak, but they get three slots, and that's fine. That's up to the party. If the Bloc wants to have the same member take both periods, that's fine. That's up to that party. But the fact is that the slots are based on the number of members at the table, which is representative of the House, which is representative of the committee, and that's the only commonsense way to do it.
