I'm wondering about this ten-minute and then five-minute round. I think traditionally there was five minutes for the first round but the standard at most committees would be seven-minute rounds. We would certainly support a seven-minute introductory round with the New Democrats, Conservatives, Liberals, and then we would have to decide how we would do it for the second round. There are various models in committees. I think seven minutes is fair, rather than ten minutes. I think that would slow us down.
