The fact that this is even something we're worried about—people not all getting their chance to ask questions—is problematic. I agree that five minutes is taking a lot of time away from our witnesses. However, the witnesses are there to answer our questions. We will be hearing from them. We will be getting their testimony as a whole.
Regardless of which order we're going in, I believe it's important that all of us get to ask our questions, as that is why we're here. Maybe not necessarily removing five minutes from each witness, but lessening their time would be good, if it's going to help us buy some time for everybody to get their chance to speak, and obviously giving discretion to the chair as well. I have full confidence that Mr. Dubourg is a fair chair and is going to do his best to let everybody in and let every party be represented.
Maybe we should be considering.... I fully understand where Mr. Duguid is coming from as well with regard to five-minute testimony, but these witnesses are going to be there for the entire duration of the meeting and they will be answering our questions and providing us with a document as well, hopefully. Maybe we should consider shortening the time so we all get a chance to speak.
