The only problem we have with you, Mr. Ferguson, is that you don't speak French. My colleague, Mr. Saxton, said that your French is much better than his, but each time you had to answer questions, you either said you could not do so in French, Mr. Ferguson, or you read a text.

Mr. Saxton, you are acting dishonourably. Stop it. Yes, you are. You are disregarding the chair.
Everyone, please be quiet right now.
This committee is adjourned.
