Gentlemen, thank you.
We have no ladies here today, it's all men on the committee. I'm sorry, I am not referring to ladies on the staff, but the two Judys aren't present today.
Thank you very much for your confidence again.
Thank you, Jacques, for running the meeting and looking after the necessary protocols for chair and vice-chairs.
Generally when I've been on committees, after the chairs are nominated and voted for, there's a recess for that meeting, but I think to use our time most efficiently, if it pleases the committee, we should take a look at future business and decide at least to have a path forward from this meeting so that we can begin to call witnesses, etc., and begin to do our work. We'd had some discussion before, but I want to open the floor to some conversation about moving forward.
Mr. Stoffer.
