Mr. Chair, now we're getting into a procedural muddle, because we're looking at two amendments on the floor that are contradictory. I did move my amendment first, which is what we would have to vote on.
I think the sense of what Mr. Jean is suggesting is actually that we have a smaller question period at the beginning, which would be a disadvantage for each party, moving from seven to five minutes. It would be a clear disadvantage to each of us to provide the kind of questions that we need to ask on behalf of our parties and our electorate. So I would disagree with the move to reduce the period of questioning; I think that would be a disservice to this committee.
