I think you're making the point I made earlier. Canadians nationwide expect business leaders and political leaders to work together to benefit Canada with this tremendous endowment of resources we have and to do it in the right way that benefits Canadians and the globe.
Quite frankly, that was what I had to say in my opening comments.

Thank you, Mr. Kruger.
I think I'll just end on this. What I hear from my constituents all the time is that they're tired of being lied to by the fossil fuel sector.

Mr. Weiler, your time is up.
I've had a request from Mr. Morrice to ask some questions. I would need UC.
Do I have UC to allow Mr. Morrice some time?

Can I ask a question, Mr. Chair? This is just a clarification.
As long as it doesn't take away from the main committee, can we add two and a half minutes to the length of the total committee? He'll be last after the Liberals.

Hang on. That's what I was getting at. We don't want to shorten this committee for all of the members around here.
We would like to add to the total time. Mr. Morrice gets his two and a half minutes, but we would just add that on to this, so everybody gets what—

We will ask our witnesses to stay a few extra minutes. I'm sure it won't be a problem.
I can give Mr. Morrice five minutes. Is that okay?

Mr. Morrice, take five minutes, please. Then everybody else will get five minutes.
Go ahead.
