I'd like to offer a subamendment.
Obviously the question here is of fairness. I think Mr. Kamp has reasonably argued that the composition of the government changed in the last election. And there is a real possibility....
I am new to this committee, and I'm glad to be here. This is going to be a great committee.
We normally have the seven minutes, so I'm somewhat puzzled by the period of time. I can see there is a real possibility that the government side will not have an opportunity to have a period of questioning. In the spirit of cooperation, I am offering a compromise.
Again, this 10 minutes is somewhat unique to this committee. Could we break from the traditional method of going on the second round from opposition to government, to continue the questioning from the government? We would then have the last round of questioning--to go directly to the government in the second round. I think it would definitely give us all an opportunity to question. I am proposing that the first round end with government, and the second round would begin with government and then go to opposition and government so that we can solve that problem.
