Republican presidential candidate and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson laid out the changes he would like to see to the next GOP debate in an interview with ABC’s “This Week” aired Sunday.

Carson and GOP rival Donald Trump previously pushed for changes to the CNBC debate that took place last Wednesday.

Here’s what Carson wants for future debates:

“I would like to see us be able to have a substantial opening statement, at least a minute, a substantial closing statement, at least a minute, and I would like to see tighter guidelines in terms of people when they respond to questions,” Carson said in the ABC interview. “Some people pretty much ignore the time constraints, while others are very careful to stay within them and I think that creates inequality.”

Carson added that he would like fewer debates, and that he couldn’t see why “we need more than one a month.”
