Thank you, MP Brock.
Just to be clear, we have one motion and then one amendment and one subamendment, and we're in fact discussing the subamendment. I would ask members to try to generally stay on the topic of the subamendment, which we're discussing right now, with regard to the number of hours per witness and the number of meetings, from two to one.
However, Mr. Brock, in this committee we're rather collegial. I've given leeway on all sides to sometimes stray a little past the exact topic we're discussing. I think it can be pertinent to the subamendment to discuss the broader context.
I do give a bit of leeway, but let's try to focus on the subamendment so that we can move with haste and efficiency in this meeting.
Mr. Badawey, the floor is yours.
