Mr. Chair, I want to get on the record. I am amazed and dismayed that I could sit at a committee for two hours with one witness and not have an opportunity to stand up for my local television stations and put forward some questions. I don't know whether this is the way the committee was set up in the beginning, but I am absolutely dismayed that a parliamentary committee would not allow every single member of Parliament the opportunity, in a two-hour meeting, with five-minute rounds of questions, to ask questions that are very pertinent and important to my local television stations as well.
