I need you to help me.
When I read through the part on opening statements, when we have witnesses--and I don't know in this committee whether you often get one or two or if you get half a dozen, in terms of groups--I think in terms of presentation, five minutes is the shortest I've seen at any committee. Usually they have 10 minutes. You're asking someone to come in and make a presentation worth five minutes. We're giving ourselves seven minutes to ask them questions, but we're only giving them five minutes to present their case, and I'm wondering how that has worked.
It would seem to me that if an organization comes in with two or three people, then they make the decision of how that's going to be presented.
So there are a couple of things. I think the five minutes seems really short, when we have more question time than they have presentation time. My suggestion on that would be 10 minutes per organization, in terms of witnesses.
There's an amendment to that effect.
