Colleagues, I believe we can start the meeting.
We have run into a little bit of a change of plans here. The delegation has left the building. They had a problem with our security system, so we will not be meeting them today.
We can take care of this one agenda item here, I believe, on how we will conduct ourselves when we have witnesses before the committee.
Let's take a look at Monsieur Ménard's proposal. If you have the piece of paper, it proposes that we change motion number 6 to the following:
That witnesses be given ten (10) minutes for their opening statement; that, at the discretion of the Chair, during the questioning of witnesses, there be allocated three-and-a-half (3½) minutes to the first questioner of each party to ask questions, starting with the Opposition parties; and that thereafter two-and-a-half (2½) minutes be allocated to each subsequent questioner, until each member has asked questions at least once.
If we agree to that, then we would go on to the second part, which is the part Mr. MacKenzie proposed, I believe.
Are there any comments or discussion on that first part?
Ms. Kadis.
