Madam Chair, I would like the members of the committee to agree on one thing before we start the meeting.
The bells are expected to ring in the next few minutes for us to go vote. So I would like us to make sure that the witnesses will be able to finish their opening remarks, even if the bells are ringing. If there is time for one round of questions, so much the better.
Out of respect for the witnesses who are testifying as part of our study, we must give them as much time as possible.
