Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I know I wanted these broken up, but I think in the spirit of what we're trying to do here.... One of the other principles I'm hoping to achieve here is to give everybody a crack at stuff before we keep going around. And I'm going to propose a change in the speaking order as well.
At the end of the day, I think if we keep it at seven minutes, there would be.... As I would see it, there would be four questioners in the first round, keeping it clean at seven minutes. But if we also keep to the principle that everybody is going to get on, and there will be a five-minute slot for all 11 members, or at least there will be a slot for all members, then I don't think we have to have that big first round like we used to have before.
As I think we probably all know, splitting our time doesn't work out very well. When you have a five-minute round and you say you're going to split your time, typically that second person gets only the last 30 seconds for a question. Things go pretty quickly in a five-minute round.
So I would suggest that we try to keep it consistent so that everybody gets seven in the first round, and then we can get agreement on what that first round is.
