Mr. Chairman, I'm much like my colleague Mr. Carmichael; I mean, I was a private citizen observer of the House of Commons prior to being elected on May 2, and I did spend a fair bit of time watching proceedings of committees and watching commissioners and other witnesses testify. I felt that an hour of listening in those cases was quite adequate.
I think one of the jobs we have as committee members is that we have to do our homework too. We're getting copies of these annual reports. I'm reading them, because I take my job on this committee very seriously, and I'm doing my homework. I'm writing my questions down. I am being prepared for the committee meetings.
So I think an hour for each of the four commissioners who report through this committee is quite adequate. I would expect members of the committee to come forward at that meeting and be prepared to maximize the input during that one-hour time. I think an hour is quite adequate.
