Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Welcome to our witnesses.
I have a couple of questions, but before I use my time for questioning, Mr. Chairman, I have a point on process. Yesterday there were a couple of comments made by the opposition parties about the “three strikes you're out” legislation in the U.S. Because this is a legislative committee and it's not a regular committee sitting in this House, I don't see how that pertains to this particular piece of legislation. I would like you to look into that and come back to our committee with whether or not it's pertinent to this discussion, because I really don't think it is pertinent to this discussion.
