Yes. I have questions in regard to the routine motion.
The first is regarding the motion that each two-hour meeting in which witnesses are called be limited to one witness panel of up to four to five witnesses, so as to allow the opportunity for a fulsome...question period.
I agree that we need to allow for a fulsome question period, but I'm wondering whether we should consider limiting the number of witnesses for each panel to two and, in the right circumstance, maybe three. To me, it would enable all of us on this committee to have a fulsome round of questions on that. I don't think there's any time limit on our committee. I think there's already been some understanding that we want a fulsome, transparent process here in order to do that.
We've all been in committees on which we have so many witnesses appearing that we can't get through them; we can't get through their testimony well; we can't get through asking the questions we want, and not everybody on the committee can ask a question.
I like the idea, but let's limit that to two—possibly three—witnesses per two-hour panel, please.
