No.
The reason we're writing it down, Chair, is that basically every word you used was a subjective one. You can say the word “fairness”, “approximately” or “reasonable”, but if we all agreed on the meaning of all those words we probably wouldn't even need to have political parties. We'd all agree on everything.
We're trying to lay down specific rules here so we get equal time. This is done by other chairs. It was done by Mr. Easter. It's a little awkward the first time you try it, kind of like riding a bicycle, but it gets very natural after that. At times Mr. Easter would literally interrupt mid-word—not mid-sentence, but mid-word—and it was fine. The witness very quickly got to understand. These were ministers and top officials testifying on $100-billion emergency programs. They got to understand that they had approximately 15 seconds to get the information out, and they got the information out.
It is a firm discipline. It is not a general sentiment. If we leave it to general sentiment, we end up with the kind of bickering that broke out at the last meeting.
