You'll be aware that in the last Parliament, this committee was part of the industry committee. At their meeting that committee adopted 10 minutes for the opening statement, and that at the discretion of the chair during the questioning of witnesses, time and sequence be allocated as follows: round one, five minutes; then it went to the official opposition, Bloc, NDP; then it would go to the government. Then in round two it would be—sorry, I'm reading, because last time it was government—Liberal, Bloc, government. Then in round three, again for five minutes, it would go Liberal, government, Liberal, government. In round four, if we got that far, everybody would get one more round.
On May 9th, 2006. See this statement in context.
