M. Jerry Pickard: Lors de la réunion, l'autre jour, le ministre Boudria, qui était le premier témoin, a commencé son exposé à midi et quand nous avons entrepris, à 13 h 30.En fait, il était passé 13 h 20 quand le député du parti ministériel a pu poser une première question.
Mr. Jerry Pickard: On procedure, I would note that in our meeting the other day the first witness, Minister Boudria, started his presentation at noon and by the time we got through at 1:30.It was actually past 1:20 before the first government member had an opportunity even to raise a question and we were very short on any ability to raise a question at that time.
