Thank you, Mr. Chair.
There's one thing I don't see here, and I'd just like some clarification, if I could. Are we going to enforce a maximum length of time for witnesses? The reason I bring this up is that, as everyone knows, it's a very hefty piece of legislation. There are 317 clauses we're going to be dealing with clause by clause. I'm assuming the committee will want to bring forward a number of witnesses, including some ministers, officers of Parliament, and that type of thing. I would suggest that in order to try to deal with this expeditiously--and of course on this side we would like to deal with this as expeditiously as possible, while at the same time giving adequate time for discussion by all committee members--we discuss a maximum agreed-upon length of time that witnesses could appear before this committee.
My suggestion--and I'll throw this out--
