Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm a little bit wary, to be honest. In my past six years as a participant in various committees, we've always come to a consensus on the witnesses we bring in to testify. What if a witness can't make it for two hours? Does that mean we're violating the rules of the committee?
I would really hope that, instead of putting these types of requests for how our committee functions into law, we can play it by ear in a discretionary fashion, based on each of the individual studies we go through. I hope we can work in that spirit of collaboration, instead of dictating exactly how many witnesses, for which party and for how many minutes that witness is going to be presenting.
