At the very least, we could agree with Ms. Ashton's position.
In the original proposal, in the second round, the Conservative and Liberal parties are entitled to two five-minute rounds, and then the Bloc and NDP are entitled to two and a half minutes each. The difference with the amendment is that the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party each get five minutes, then the Bloc and the NDP get their two and a half minutes, and then the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party get their second block of five minutes each.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that there have already been times when there wasn't enough time for me to speak again. It's allocated in a way that isn't necessarily more fair, but at least it gives us an extra chance to speak when we have witnesses.
