Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm concerned about the request or the motion, largely because it's not following a pre-established routine motion. We have never asked others to present their opening speeches in the past. It's inconsistent with House of Commons Procedure and Practice, chapter 20, at page 1069, so we're establishing a different precedent here. Will that be the expectation or will that be required of all other witnesses? Let's be fair.
