May I interrupt, Mr. Chair? As a measure of respect for your position, I think that it is up to you to determine whether my remarks are relevant or not. It is not up to my friend and colleague from the Conservative Party who, until further notice, is not chair of this committee. He is a member of this committee, just like I am. So that is what I am suggesting, unless he gives me permission to judge whether or not his comments are relevant; that would only be fair and ethical, would it not?
