Mr. Chair, that makes a lot of sense, and I would certainly take that up as a proposal, that in fact the discretion be given to the chair to recognize the independent and that we keep the original rotation. I should also point out for my Conservative colleagues that in the scenario of the one hour, they get three rounds of which they can give one to Mr. Arthur. The official opposition only gets two rounds. So I just want to make that abundantly clear. It's not like we're getting anything out of this that would create a.... It's again an accommodation and flexibility, which I think is probably rarely demonstrated in other committees, but it is here. So I would follow up on the wisdom of the chair and accept that as a motion, that the discretion be given to the Conservative Party, to the chair, or to any party to allow a turn to Monsieur Arthur if they so choose, prior to the time that he is normally assigned as an independent.
