I think we have to look for a new chair. The chair has to be replaced. We're not going to get into any more debate until we have a new chair.
We're in a situation now where there are no nominations for a new chair. That being said....

Thank you very much, Mr. Eyking. It's unfortunate that you have to leave, because we have all the confidence in the world in you as the chair.
I do find it a little rich to hear Mr. Easter talking this way when in the justice committee in the last Parliament, when the chairman left from the Conservative side they called it partisan games, they called it delaying.

And now they're manoeuvring to do the same thing this time.
At this point in time, I'd like to nominate Mr. Valeriote to be the chair.

No, Mr. Storseth, you didn't nominate anybody for the chair, so the meeting is now ended. I was hoping that you would come up with another nomination.
