Thanks to both of you. Welcome.
I think everyone who has been on committees before knows that especially the nature of government operations and estimates can get quite technical, and we rely heavily on the good work of our analysts to guide us.
The second motion is one that can get a little more controversial or have a little more debate involved; that is, obviously when we have witnesses we have to divide the questioning time amongst the parties in a fair and equitable way so that all parties and in fact all individual members get an opportunity to question the witnesses. I know that there has been some talk amongst the parties already, and I suppose there's a standard that's quite common through most committees, but again, we have the right as a committee to structure it any way we want.
Is there any input on that?
Mike.
