Mr. Chair, with respect, yesterday my line of questioning was cut off right at five minutes, despite the interruption to my time that was caused by the translators being briefly unable to hear me speak. I had one more question, which would have taken 10 seconds to ask, and I wasn't allowed to ask it.
Many members of the committee were allowed to ask questions and receive their answers from witnesses after their allotted time was over. Mr. Kelloway's line of questioning, for a six-minute round, was extended to close to nine minutes.
In the interest of fairness, I would like the committee to be assured that, first, any interruption of questioning due to technical issues would be added to the end of the member's allotted time for questions and answers, and second, that there would be consistency about how those extensions are granted to all members, regardless of party or what they're asking, subject to the same standard.
