It's very seldom you can get to the third round. Sometimes you'll start it, so with respect to the Liberal's second questions, it's probably a moot point anyway.
On the second round, give us that list again, Ron. It's NDP, Conservative, Conservative?

Just do it through the chair, and then we've got it. Do you have it here?

It's up to the NDP to make their own arguments, but I really do think that...in your first two rounds you'll have really had four Conservative and only two NDP.... I really think you need another NDP in that second round.

Mr. Chair, Mr. Thibeault had asked for a friendly amendment, so I can go back to NDP, Conservative, Liberal, Conservative. That's seven minutes in the first round. The second round is NDP, Conservative. Then we go back to NDP, Conservative, Conservative.

And NDP, Conservative. It looks as if we're getting a consensus here.

Thanks. Just for clarification then, Mr. Cannan, for the second round we are then.... I was going to move a motion, but if you are talking about going NDP, Conservative, NDP, Conservative in the second round, and then leaving the third round, if you have that time, to the discretion of the chair, or something along those lines...or does that even matter? If you have that time, then....

It would be Conservative, NDP, Conservative, to give everybody a chance to speak.
