Mr. Chair, we have on the table a proposal from Mr. Galipeau and an amendment from Mr. Julian. I think that Mr. Bélanger needs to tell us which of these two options seems the most interesting to him. I think that Mr. Galipeau's proposal would let him have seven minutes to speak following the first round, which may be very favourable. In fact, very often we don't get to the end of the second round when there are two witnesses. When we are hearing new witnesses, we start the first round again. Under the circumstances, I find that Mr. Galipeau's proposal favours Mr. Bélanger. We are in favour of it. I am going to vote in favour of Mr. Galipeau's proposal, without amendment.
