Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm thinking about this proposal. First, I want to assure Mr. Bélanger and the other members that I'm here to participate vigorously in this committee in the spirit of cooperation. I have been a member of this committee before, and I had the opportunity to go with Mr. Bélanger to a school in his riding. That was a good initiative and I supported it. I will do the same in the future.
The proposal Mr. Galipeau just put forward reflects all the principles and provides the Liberals with a very privileged position in the first round. All three parties represented here will have the opportunity to take the floor, as will all the members.
If there is a disadvantage in the House of Commons during oral question period, it's for individuals like myself, the backbenchers, who don't regularly get the opportunity to participate. Therefore, I want to participate here and I also want all my colleagues to have the right to speak. It may not be a perfect proposal, but it reflects all the principles we have been talking about. In addition, according to parliamentary protocol, members of the official opposition will take the floor first. That's enough for me.
