I know Karen is taking a French course. I must explain, but I will use her language to give a better understanding, if you understand my English.
I had a discussion with the Speaker and the Clerk, and they counted the number of opposition members: 100 Liberals, plus 49 Bloc, plus 29 NDP, plus 3 independents. It's a total of 181. They made a proposition: three divided by 181 gives 1.69 questions, and that is the reason the Speaker gave two questions per week.
I had a discussion with the Speaker. He said he wanted to continue this pattern, but if we change the standing order, he will respect the new standing order.
The clerk was a witness to all these discussions, at Jay's request. If you don't believe what I'm saying, she can provide confirmation. That is how I see things. I don't know how meeting with the Speaker would move things forward.
