That's fine. You've submitted two already.
The reason we're asking is that the submission of witnesses is not due until Friday. We will have meetings on this topic next week. However, when we came to review all of this on Friday and on the weekend, we realized that the normal practice was not for the sponsor to appear for two hours. Then we had the second hour. That's why we're seeking clarification.

Madam Chair, I would suggest that if there are witnesses available for the second hour, I think we should schedule them. If there are not, I don't think there would be a huge benefit to having one witness, the sponsor, for a full two hours. I would just have a one-hour meeting.

Okay. Thank you very much.
The flexibility is with the clerk to schedule witnesses for the second hour. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.
Having no other witnesses and no other business to conduct, I call the meeting adjourned.
