I have a suggestion to make. I will read the motion that the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs has adopted. I liked the idea, so I'm suggesting it to you:
That witnesses be given five (5) minutes [instead of 10 minutes] for their opening statements; that whenever possible, witnesses provide the committee with their opening statements 72 hours in advance; that, at the discretion of the Chair, during the questioning of witnesses, there be allocated six (6) minutes for the first questioner of each party as follows [...]
Nothing changes for the first round. I will continue:
For the second and subsequent rounds, the order and time for questioning be as follows: Conservative Party, five (5) minutes Liberal Party, five (5) minutes Bloc Québécois, two and a half (2.5) minutes New Democratic Party, two and a half (2.5) minutes Conservative Party, five (5) minutes Liberal Party, five (5) minutes
So, instead of scheduling five-minute segments for the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party one after the other, we would let the Bloc Québécois and the New Democratic Party get their turn between two five-minute segments. Would that suit you?
