To respond to my Bloc colleague's comments, I would point out that this committee is unique in that it is chaired by an opposition member.
As a rule, when a committee is chaired by a government member, the Chair may from time to time ask questions as a government member. Mr. Tilson has suggested that the government be given at least one opportunity to ask questions during the second round in view of the fact that the chairman is an opposition member. The situation is different when the chairman is a member of the government party.
