I just want to make clear what we're talking about here. Here is the proposal at the top that has been proposed by the clerk, and that is that the first round be seven minutes for Liberal, Bloc, Conservative, and NDP. The second round would be five minutes. The third round would be the same as the second round, and the fourth round would be the same as the second round. So by the time you got through four rounds you would have had each of the parties able to speak four times. But we'd be at 70 minutes, or whatever it is. It's longer. Usually what happens is that we don't get to the fourth round. That's 88 minutes to do the first one.
The fact is that you wouldn't get to the next round, so you'd end up with three opportunities for everybody. So you would have, in terms of the membership of the committee, one Liberal who would not have an opportunity to ask a question, unless his time was split with another member, and it would be the same for the Conservatives. They would not have an opportunity for each member to speak.
So this is the proposal as suggested by Mr. Miller, I take it. Mr. Miller, is that correct? In the first round you would have Liberal, Bloc, NDP, and Conservative for seven minutes each. In the second round you would have Liberal, Bloc, and Conservative for five minutes each. The third round would be Liberal and Conservative. The fourth round would be Liberal and Conservative.
What you would get there is every member, because you have four Liberals, four Conservatives, two Bloc, and one NDP. Everybody has a chance to speak once before we revert to the top again. That's the difference between the two proposals as--
