I understand, Mr. Chaplin, that you may have had trouble scheduling groups of witnesses. It is a very complicated exercise; a three-dimensional puzzle, so to speak. I know it was complicated because we received the agenda yesterday evening at the last minute. I didn't even have time to call you back yesterday, because by the time we received our agenda, you had probably already left, which is perfectly understandable.
However, Mr. Chairman, would it be possible to cut back the time allocated for the first witness, in order to leave more time for the second group of witnesses? I don't know whether they have all arrived yet… perhaps they're already here.
