The motion would be to move the two-and-a- half-minute rounds for the Bloc Québécois and the New Democratic Party to be after the first five minutes for the Conservative Party and the five minutes for the Liberal Party. Then it would be Bloc for two and a half minutes, the New Democratic Party for two and a half minutes, the Conservative Party for five minutes and the Liberal Party for five minutes. That would be the second round. The first round would stay the same, at six minutes apiece.
That's been done to ensure that with the second round being only two and a half minutes for the Bloc and also for the NDP they would not be cut off with that very short period of time. It would be more equitably shared. There's a subsequent motion that may be made as well, which is potentially reducing the time of opening statements to make it more compatible.
