I would like your advice, Madam Chair, in terms of the 40 minutes that we've now missed, as to whether we could move to extend the hearings by 40 minutes. Obviously the minister's time is quite often the least flexible, but would this panel be able to reconvene after the minister's appearance so that there could be a more extensive period of questioning by parliamentarians? It would be a move to extend by 40 minutes.
