Mark, we don't need to debate. We're not debating here.
I want to make sure that everybody around the table knows that I am mindful that we are trying to stay somewhat on the agenda. I'm very flexible. I've been very flexible for two years now and I want to stay that way. I don't want the whole meeting to start to get controversial on both sides. I think the good work that we've been doing here has been helpful because we are dealing respectfully and cordially with each other. Let's not wreck that.
I tried to be reasonable. I think everybody has had their say, including me. Let's get back to the work of the committee today.
I want to welcome Paula Brand to the table and Mr. Wilkinson. Mr. Lucas is still with us.
Thank you.
Do you have a little something you want to tell us before we start questioning?
Go ahead, Mr. Wilkinson.
