Mr. Chair, I would like to move the following motion regarding the appearance of witnesses before the committee:
That witnesses be given five (5) to ten (10) minutes at the discretion of the Chair to make their opening statement….
As for the order of questioners and the time allocated to them, the first round would be as follows: Liberal Party, 7 minutes; Conservative Party, 7 minutes; Liberal Party, 7 minutes; NDP, 7 minutes. The second round would be as follows: Conservative Party, 5 minutes; Liberal Party, 5 minutes; Conservative Party, 5 minutes; Liberal Party, 5 minutes; NDP, 3 minutes. That's a total of 50 minutes.
