I think I understand what Mr. Ménard is saying. He wants it to be cumulative time only on the questioner, and then the stop watch, if you will, is the chair to keep the answers brief. I think what he's trying to overcome is when someone comes in here and, in an attempt to avoid all of the questions, uses up the time in a long answer. There are perhaps other solutions to it, but I think what he's trying to do is say that the chair then has to stop the answer because there's no clock on the person who's doing the answering. The chair would have to keep it very short. It may be difficult to do.
