For form's sake, I would like to move an amendment to the agreement we arrived at during last week's discussions. We agreed on two rounds then. In the first round, questioners would have seven minutes in the following order: New Democrats, Conservatives, Liberals, Conservatives. We agreed last Tuesday that we would hold a second round, where questioners would have five minutes in the following order: New Democrats, Conservatives, New Democrats, Conservatives, Liberals, Conservatives, New Democrats and Conservatives. If there was a third round, we would start from the beginning, with five minutes per questioner.
I agreed to that because it was in keeping with two major principles. First, every party would speak in every round, as we have always done. Second, there was what the government party wanted to add, that all the members be able to speak. To honour that agreement, I formally move this amendment.
