I'm seeing that you're in favour of dealing with this particular motion separately and passing all the other routine motions in one fell swoop.
Again I ask, is that the will of the committee? Is there any dissent?
Seeing none, I declare that all the routine motions, except the one regarding opening remarks and questioning of witnesses, are passed.
(Motions agreed to)
I welcome our analysts to the meeting as well, formally, because now they get brought into the picture.
Now let us carry on with the final routine motion, which is the matter of time for opening remarks and questioning of witnesses.
The motion as it existed previously was:
That witnesses be given 10 minutes for their opening statement; that, at the discretion of the Chair, during the questioning of witnesses, there be allocated six minutes for the first questioner of each party as follows: Round 1: Conservative Party, Liberal Party, Bloc Québécois, New Democratic Party.
For the second and subsequent rounds, the order and time for questioning be as follows: Conservative Party, five minutes; Liberal Party, five minutes; Conservative Party, five minutes; Liberal Party, five minutes; Bloc Québécois, two and a half minutes; New Democratic Party, two and a half minutes.
Would somebody like to move that motion?
