Whether today was good or whether today wasn't good is not the issue. We're going to have ministers; we're going to have different people here. I think the situation is that sometimes we're going to have witnesses that are going to be more in demand than at other times. But that wasn't the intention of the person making the motion, which was me, and certainly that was not the discussion that any of us had, quite frankly. In fact it was quite the opposite. Some of the opposition we received on it arose specifically on the basis that it was unfair because it didn't give parties equal time. I would like to have the opportunity to look at the transcript, and I will be making a motion accordingly on that basis at the next meeting.
I quite frankly didn't have a problem today. In fact my intention was to provide my time to opposition parties other than the Liberals--no disrespect intended--just to give more time, because Mr. Julian had some great questions, I think, for the witnesses. But in the future, it may be the case. Quite frankly, in this particular case, Mr. Julian would receive 12 minutes of time before the Conservative Party, with substantially more votes from a national perspective, received even 10 minutes, so I don't think that's fair. I would like to have the opportunity to review the tape and to make a motion at the next sitting of this committee.
