Thank you.
I've been listening intently to positions that have been put forward by all sides. I have to defer to my policy of what's good for the goose.
There could be a scenario where any of us at any given time, including today, would have to rely on the meetings being in a hybrid format. I suggest that we extend to the witnesses the same principles in courtesy that we extend to ourselves as committee members, notwithstanding the importance of having people in person.
I agree that I'm recapturing an element today that I've missed in other meetings, but it's also not lost on me that we have two members of this committee logging on in a hybrid format, which is good. It's something we may have to rely on in different places throughout this process, understanding that some of us are coming from a bit further away. Given the uncertain nature of our own planning and scheduling, it may be required that each of us at any given time may have to do that. If we have the ability to do that, it would be fair and consistent to ensure that this is extended to the witnesses.
I wanted to say that this wasn't lost on me throughout this discussion.
