I do, because, Chair, I think the average amount of time that you're taking to read housekeeping items at the front of each meeting, which are repetitive, actually takes a full question round away from members. I think that needs to probably be changed so that it's more efficient. I think most of what you're reading is known operating procedure and could be emailed to members and also advised to witnesses prior to the start of committee meetings.
The other thing I would say is—I've said this many times—that witnesses should be sound-tested before the start. When a meeting has really already started, especially when we're doing two tight panels....
I move that, in an effort to maximize witness testimony and MP questioning time, the clerk and the committee communicate to all witnesses and members all protocol, procedure and technical information prior to a meeting to ensure that this information does not need to be repeated during a meeting.
