Thank you very much.
That concludes the first hour of our meeting.
Before we take a short break and begin the in camera portion of the meeting, I'd like to ask the committee a question. As we know, during the in camera portion, each member has the right to be accompanied by an assistant, as do the whips and House leaders. It's a well-established right.
Do I have the permission of the committee to invite the support staff who support the witnesses to stay in the room? Most of them are sitting in the front row behind the witnesses.
