I'm sorry, Mr. Van Loan. You may wish to proceed as saying it was orders of the government, but this committee made this decision on Tuesday, that in fact we would study the bill on this day. If you recall at the end of the meeting, I suggested that if you said you had witnesses on Tuesday that you would send them along, and you did. Obviously, this decision of this committee was observed. Therefore, we had said that if this is referred, we will deal with it on this day, and the committee agreed to this. We have followed the will of the committee in this instance, including you, Mr. Van Loan, who prior to the bill being referred to this committee, did send your list of witnesses. It showed that you understood that this committee had ruled on this issue.
On June 2nd, 2016. See this statement in context.
