Right now, it's five minutes.
We're off kilter on the procedure here.
Mr. Shipley wants to make a further amendment and change five minutes to ten. If I may, let me just say the five minutes has worked. At this committee, normally the witness would be the Auditor General. She has presented, and she's quite used to the five minutes. The other witnesses are normally the accounting officer, the deputy minister or the agency head, maybe Treasury Board, and sometimes private witnesses. If they need additional time, we usually give them two to three extra minutes to conclude. I don't normally cut people off, but I have if I see they're going to go on and on.
That's been the practice of the committee, and I don't think we've ever had any complaint that we don't give people enough time. But again, it's up to the committee to decide.
The amendment, colleagues, is to delete the word “five” and insert “ten”. Is there any other discussion?
