I may have said October, but unintentionally. If I did, I meant March; I meant today.
For the sake of argument, in the event the confidence motion had been yesterday, we would not have failed in our duty for failing to have submitted a report by that time. It's just that the clock would have run out. By the same token, if we are unable to report that we need more time, and then get more time and produce a final report, that is not the fault of this committee. We are not failing to be in compliance with the Speaker's ruling. What's happening is simply that the clock will have run out on us, a really important point to make, that this is the situation here. So you can't get around this by saying we'll throw in what people were speculating on in the course of these hearings. For one thing, we aren't always right. People had trouble even recalling what they themselves had said.
