Thank you, Mr. Chair.
At the end of the day, the whole intent of the amendment, and then the subsequent subamendment, is to try to look at a practical way to plan the two hours. We've expressed very strongly over here the need for a balance on this.
Just as a little digression, I would hope that when someone from New Brunswick approaches me, as a person on the committee, and wants to come to our committee, I'll be able to put a motion in and we'll be able to have the consideration at that point in time as well.
But having said that, the intent is that the Subcommittee on Agenda and Procedure will be an efficient way to deal with this. Otherwise, what's going to end up happening is we're going to put our witness lists in, it's going to be by a certain day that we have to have our witness lists in, and it will be the chair and the clerk's responsibility, and God knows how many witnesses we'll have here.
To Mr. Blais' point, which might have lost a little bit in the translation, the subcommittee is an opportunity to pre-chew our food. That's the opportunity this subamendment would allow us to do: to pre-chew that food so that the whole committee doesn't have to digest something they can't digest.
Chair, feel free to call the question on the subamendment, as it is 10:40. We've gone past our time, and I know that--
