When I did it in the format of this room, your own party actually got 11 minutes compared with other people who actually got a lot less. I have tried to be very fair to all parties, but when you got your minutes, we also facilitated your other two colleagues that had to get in to speak. I understand the frustration, but every day is a learning day, and we will look into having extra time on such an important issue in the future.
