Colleagues, we are resuming.
Before turning to our next panel, I'd like to answer Mr. Garon's question.
During its first meeting, the committee adopted a routine motion to set the speaking time for each party. I will read the motion:
That witnesses be given five minutes for their opening statements; that whenever possible, witnesses provide the committee with their opening statements 72 hours in advance; that, at the discretion of the Chair, during the questioning of witnesses, there be allocated six minutes for the first questioner of each party as follows: First Round: Conservative Party; Liberal Party; Bloc Québécois. For the second and subsequent rounds, the order and time for questioning be as follows: Conservative Party, five minutes; Liberal Party, five minutes; Bloc Québécois, two and a half minutes; Conservative Party, five minutes; Liberal Party, five minutes.
I followed the routine motion. If there's some time left, we can modify the speaking order, but for that, we would need a consensus.
