Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I move that witnesses to appear before the committee be given 10 minutes to make their opening remarks, and that during the questioning of witnesses the time allocated to each questioner be five minutes. There will be two rounds. A Liberal member of Parliament will begin the first round and will have five minutes at his or her disposal to ask questions. Afterwards a House of Commons Conservative will have five minutes, followed by a New Democratic member who will have five minutes; then a Conservative senator will have five minutes, as will a Liberal senator after that. During the second round, five minutes will be given to a Liberal member of Parliament, then to a Conservative member, then to a Conservative senator, a Liberal senator, and finally a Liberal member of Parliament.
