I'll just respond as the chair. I think I've earned a reputation as someone who is fair-minded. I encourage Mr. Mulcair to speak to Mr. Masse, to speak to Ms. Nash, to speak to the NDP whip, as to how I've chaired the industry committee in the past.
I would also say that my interest is in more dialogue rather than less, but I'll take Mr. Mulcair's point in the sense of if there's an hour allocated for a subject I will close it at that hour, exactly at 60 minutes, and allow no further questions, unless the entire committee agrees to extend it beyond that. So in future it will be 60 minutes sharp for questions.
I make every effort and I commit to every member of this committee to be fair to every member of this committee. But, again, I'm more interested in a substantive discussion and I'm more interested in more dialogue rather than less. And I'd be very happy, as the chair, to invite Mr. Page back if this committee so desires and to have a longer discussion if this committee so desires.
Mr. Page, I thank you very much for being here today. I thank you for you presentation, for your responses to our questions.
Members, we'll suspend for a couple of minutes and then we'll go to future business.
Thank you.
