Thank you so much, Mr. Chair. I just wanted to call for a point of order. I'm seeking unanimous consent.
I am one of seven Vancouver Island MPs. As you know, BC Ferries is critical to the lifeline of Vancouver Islanders.
Almost 25% of Vancouver Islanders voted New Democrat. As a New Democrat, I'm hoping that this committee will support allowing me two and a half minutes of questioning at the end of each round due to the impact this has on my Vancouver Island constituents. As someone who's met with industry and as someone who's met with BC Ferries, ENGOs, first nations, higher learning institutions, and labour, I could offer a lot in terms of my questions that would support this committee, Vancouver Islanders, British Columbians and Canadians.
I hope this committee will support my request.
