Yes, Mr. Chair, I do have a point of order.
I know I am asking this on an odd day, because we have lost time, but I have been finding with these hearings that the five-minute rule we have is not very helpful in terms of allowing witnesses to respond and allowing us to set up a line of questioning. I feel we end up having to be rude when we ask people to stop because there are so many issues we're trying to deal with.
My understanding was that it had been a seven-minute rule. I know on other committees it is seven minutes. I just feel that in this hearing, if we are going to get the most out of our witnesses and create a conversation, five minutes does not do that.
