I would like to say quickly that there are interesting elements in both proposals.

I think everyone wants to work collaboratively. It's been one of the characteristics of this committee from the beginning.

I would propose an amendment to Mr. Beaulieu's proposal. I'd like to make sure I fully understand.

You told me that the way we used to operate, the Bloc Québécois and the NDP only had two and a half minutes. I'm surprised, because I thought we all always had at least five minutes of speaking time.

In any case, I agree with everyone that there needs to be more flexibility regarding the 72-hour period.

I could have been open to the Bloc Québécois and the NDP having five minutes to speak and ask questions.

This is the five minutes we're talking about, isn't it?
