No. We have drafting and we're already nine minutes over. I apologize.

I am not criticizing you, but you gave my colleagues from the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party an opportunity to ask more questions.

In all fairness, I think the NDP and the Bloc Québécois should also be able to comment. I leave it up to you, but I think it would be fair for us to complete the question round we have started.

Mr. Fortin, we will be another five minutes. If the committee wishes, I can. It would just [Inaudible—Editor] the drafting instructions.

Mr. Garrison is saying he is okay with it, so Mr. Fortin, if I can make the decision.... I don't like taking anybody's time. I try to be as balanced as I can, but in light of this, I'm going to have to conclude it right here. Next time, I will do my very best to ensure that you get your time. I was very fair and liberal in your time in the first round this time.

I am going to suspend.
