Mr. Chairman, even though it's not formally written down anywhere, as a rule there are a few minutes remaining after the questioning is completed. Mr. Pacetti can confirm that there is always some time left for an NDP member to ask a second question. However, as my colleague pointed out, if there are four members representing the same party, they will be able to ask four questions. That's why during the second round, the Liberals and the Conservative are allowed to ask a total of four questions. The Bloc members can ask two questions. and the NDP representatives, one question. We can't conjure up an extra committee member. A total of 29 party members were elected, not 50. However, as a rule, there is always time for an NDP member to get a second question in, and the member takes advantage of the opportunity.
