Mr. Chair, with due respect to my colleague, in the last three minority Parliaments I don't remember the Liberals being that charitable in working with the opposition members and virtually having their way at committees.
Having said that, I offer something as a suggestion rather than a formal amendment or motion. It might satisfy the member to move the suggested first Conservative spot to the end of the first round such that it would read that the round of questioning shall be NDP, Conservative, Liberal, Conservative. That may give him greater assurance that the Liberals would have a full round of questioning should a minister appear.
I make that as a suggestion. Maybe it is something worth discussing.
