--and the environmental evaluation agency.
If they don't want to hear from the National Round Table, I don't have a problem with it. If we keep the witnesses to a half hour, which is the norm, that gives plenty of time for questioning. When we give them the seven or ten minutes, it often is not that long. To start off by saying we're not going to hear from the witnesses that are there, that we're going to deal with them on a question-by-question basis and the only chance they will get to speak is when we ask them a question...I don't favour that.
I don't want to waste a lot of time on this. I want to get back to Bill C-474 and finish up with that.
Let's call the question. I think it's out of the norm, and I don't think it's fair.
