I can't support the motion because the numbers become a little bit skewed. In fact, if you look at the total time in the current situation, the NDP is getting ten minutes in round one. Asking that it be changed to seven and five will really only give the NDP two more minutes, but at the same time it will take three minutes away from the other parties in round one. So for the sake of two minutes and losing three, I think it's better that we stay the way we are, with ten minutes in round one.
