Just so you know, Rodger, the way it's set up here is if you go for five minutes--and let's talk about one hour for one panel, as opposed to two hours--in the one hour, you would have five minutes. It would go in the order as you see it. It would be Conservative, NDP, Conservative, NDP, Conservative, Liberal. That would be the first round. You would always get that in. So you'd have five minutes. If you went to a longer term, obviously you would keep repeating the rounds in that fashion. You would always be up on the first round, especially if the witnesses were 15 minutes and 30 is 45, in the hour, and you'd keep going.
The way this was designed is that essentially the Conservatives get about 50% of the time and they have 53% of the seats, almost 54%. The NDP gets 33.4% of the time. The NDP has 33% of the seats. The Liberal Party would get 16% of the time although the Liberals have 11% of the seats.
It generally gives everybody more or less their distribution. Everybody speaks in the first round and then starts the second round. In the hour, that works fine. For the two-hour panel there may be some merit to the seven-minute idea.
I'll turn it over to Phil, because we talked about that. You raised an issue about seven minutes, five minutes. Phil, give us your thoughts. We talked about it, so maybe you would want to add to this conversation.
