Colleagues, bear with me for a moment here as I explain the current state of affairs, and then we'll get going.
Madam Dancho, as you heard a few moments ago, put forward a motion. What we have done in the past when a motion has been presented by a member while there are still witnesses left to be heard from in our regularly scheduled meeting is that we have agreed, on camera, to press pause on dealing with the substance of that motion in order to allow the witnesses to be heard.
We have called a set of emergency meetings, and this is the third of three, with 60 minutes remaining and four witnesses with us to provide testimony.
The agreement that has been reached is that we are going to proceed as normal for the next roughly 45 minutes; that's five minutes for our witnesses' introductory remarks followed by the line of questioning, which will consist of six minutes for each party in the first round and then five minutes to the Conservatives, five to the Liberals and two and a half to the Bloc in the second round. We're going to cut off the final ten minutes.
As soon as that is done, to honour the spirit of what we have agreed to do to allow us to hear from our witnesses, we will go to the motion.
Does everybody understand?
