My experience in chairing the Standing Committee on the Status of Women is a little different. It wasn't exactly structured the same way in terms of who spoke when and we really didn't have any significant problems, but it was a different committee with different material, etc.
I think it's very much incumbent upon the chair to keep that control to ensure that it keeps flowing, people have equal opportunity, and the witnesses do not overextend. That applies to our questions and it applies to the witnesses. I think if it's chaired appropriately it shouldn't be a significant problem. It's not necessarily worthy of changing, even though I understand there were some issues and I'm sensitive to that. This way it makes it more challenging for the chair, but I think it's important that those issues are brought to the committee's attention. That was the experience.
