The motion before us today reflects what we had last time. That is why we left item 4 to your discretion, so that all committee members would have an opportunity to speak on the first round. I think the proposal we have today is the same as that in place before prorogation. We could start alternating on the second round, but by that time, it takes hours of discussion, and often we never get that far. That is why I move that we adopt the routine motions that have been presented and that are the same as those we had in the last Parliament.
