Thank you, Chair.
Over the past five years that I've been sitting on this subcommittee, what I have appreciated the most about it is that we are a consensus-based committee. Like all chairs in the past, Mr. Chair, you have been very fair with your allocation of time. As a subcommittee, we have a really short chunk of time. I've seen that whenever we run out of time, we divide whatever time is left quite equally amongst all parties, making sure everybody gets the opportunity to speak. I understand and appreciate the concern of everybody who is raising it here, but I'm hoping we'll continue with our tradition of consensus. I'm hoping we'll continue to work together quite collaboratively. I think the language that Mr. Zuberi has proposed with respect to “at the discretion of the chair” at the bottom of the motion should take all of that into account.
Mr. Chair, I'm happy that we're hoping to move forward on a consensus basis, and I know you'll do the right thing with respect to time allocation.
