Mr. Chair, y you seem somewhat reluctant, like you are trying to avoid...
I want to add that I agree with Mr. Nadeau. Today, for example, we had a lot of time; in fact we have until 11 a.m. We could have given everyone a chance to speak, as we have done in the past when I chaired the committee that toured the country. We had the time. If others wished to ask questions, we gave them the opportunity to do so. It's not the end of the world. When we are short on time, we are unable to do this. When we have enough time, we will be reasonable. I think we need to adopt this approach to our work.
Also, we have already decided who will speak and when. I am not saying that we are pleased with the decision. The Conservatives and the Liberals have opted for a formula that is not to our liking. I think that people can change their minds. I lost a round. I wasn't here for the fourth round. You do not have to believe me, but I was planning to pass on the next one. I'd already asked the questions I wanted to ask. That is how we need to proceed.
Furthermore, there is nothing unusual about this. I have seen Liberals do it when they were in power, and you've even done it yourself in the past few years. When certain members have five minutes they ask questions for two and half minutes, and then they give their colleagues the rest of their time. This is what happens.
