The rules are clear in Marleau and Montpetit and in O'Brien and Bosc. Members of this committee have the right to use their time either to pose questions to witnesses or to simply make an intervention, a statement, not affording the witness a chance to respond. So if Mr. Del Mastro wants to use his time in such a manner, that's his right as a member of this committee. I just want to make sure that we're all clear on that. You are members of this committee.
