I'm going to try a compromise here to see if this could potentially get us moving along. Maybe we just move it to one and a half hours to at least get this going. Two hours was the tradition for a minister to actually appear before a committee. That's tradition used to be in place until the last six or seven years. I'd say that's a friendly amendment because I'd like to see this get done.
It will allow the facilitation of the clerk and perhaps this is a way of compromise on both sides to get it going forward.
I would ask the clerk if that would potentially work. If not, what else would we have to do to make this happen?
