Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm actually against Mrs. Lalonde's motion and for Mr. Beaulieu's amendment. I think it's a much more effective way to proceed. Giving the witnesses five minutes for their opening statements leaves all the parties more time for questions. I think it's important for all the opposition parties to have their say. It's also worth noting that many committees have voted in favour of this more effective approach.
I was going to move the exact same amendment as Mr. Beaulieu, which is why I plan to support it.
Thank you.
