Yes, just a couple of quick points, Mr. Chair.
One, in your defence, we did sit on a committee jointly where it was common practice for the chair to take this authority so we could expedite committee business in fairness to everybody.
Two, I would like to know if you could reference for the committee--perhaps not today--where you found your ruling on the time allocation, because we have had this question come up in another committee, where a clerk informed us that because the agenda shows 3:30 to 5:30 traditionally, the committee is deemed to be shut down at 5:30 unless otherwise requested by the committee, as these rooms are often booked afterwards for other reasons.
So could you clarify where you found that?
