Thank you, Chair.
We definitely want to hear from the witness, but there are a lot of witnesses who have asked to appear before the committee, and there's a process of how they get slotted in. I wouldn't want to create a precedent of people showing up at committee thinking they can join the committee. That's not the way we operate.
Although I do want to hear the testimony, I don't want to hear it today. I want to follow the normal protocol.
