Just for greater clarity, Chair, what we're proposing and what I accepted from you--which I hope is acceptable to members--is to not deal with Mr. Carrie's motions here but to leave the existing routine motion in place with the following words, more or less.
So on the allocation for time of questioning:
That the witnesses be given up to ten (10) minutes for their opening statement and that, at the discretion of the Chair, a member may yield their time to another, and that during the questioning of witnesses, time and sequence be allocated as follows:
We would maintain the rotation we've always had but give the chair the discretion, not just in terms of sequence but in recognizing a member who may be yielded. So it's there in writing if a member like Mr. Arthur...or if I decide to give my time to Ms. Nash, or Mr. Brison, or whatever the case may be.
