There may have been wisdom provided by Mr. Warkentin in his comments reflecting on the number of times. Let it be very clear that we want this committee to work, as Liberals, as we do in other committees here.
Mr. Martin raises some very important points with respect to the amount of time that the New Democrats do not get to speak, and I would suggest, in an offer of goodwill, that we would be willing to allocate in the second round our second position, which would then read “Liberal Party, Bloc Québécois, Conservative Party, New Democratic Party”. The latter would be changed—instead of Liberal Party.
But I would also caution that where we go from there is that it would give the New Democratic Party a third one, after the Bloc Québécois. But I see the essence there, since my party, the Liberal Party, would be speaking twice in the first round. We'd certainly want to see some levelling there.
