Further to the principle that you enunciated earlier, which I think is a very wise principle, because we were all elected by Canadians across the country, I would suggest that the proposal by the parliamentary secretary is very good. It gives everybody adequate time. I think your idea of having it alternate, as you suggested, is good, but I think five minutes would give each member the opportunity to express the position of their constituents who actually sent them here to decide on things. It would give everybody equal opportunity. Then, there are usually rounds left over at the end so that if somebody really wants to make some extra points, they can have the opportunity to do so instead of us just burning the time.
My suggestion would be the five minutes, as was mentioned by Ms. McLeod. I think it's a good idea to have those rounds at five minutes and have them alternate equally.
