I don't see how that's acceptable. We've had a considerable change in seating allocations in the House of Commons since the election, and this would completely put it out of whack.
On what I've suggested, the opposition ends up with 40 minutes of questioning compared to 27 minutes for the government. It's generous to the opposition. The NDP gets almost half as much as each of the other parties, the way we've set it up here. If you're talking about party allocation, the NDP is already being treated generously, if Mr. Siksay wants to look at it that way.
The previous time allocation was based on a completely different House of Commons. I don't think we can seriously look at leaving things the way they were.
