I don't think we can do anything else. My recollection is as good as yours, in the sense that I cannot accurately regurgitate word for word what the advice of Mr. Rob Walsh was, and even if I were able to do that after the meeting, I would have no authority from the committee to proceed, because they don't know what he said, and therefore the committee cannot instruct me. So I'm afraid we're going to have to wait until Thursday, hear what he has to say, and then make a decision at that time.
Of course, if the session is adjourned, we certainly can meet if we wish. If this particular session is prorogued, it's a different matter. But that's out of our hands.
Anyway, this is just a little bit of housekeeping.
I'm sorry, witnesses, I just wanted to get things straightened out. I want to welcome you, I want you to relax, I want you to feel you are in our living room here. You've heard what the members have said. It's important that you listen to the questions and answer them to the fullest degree you possibly can. I'll be listening for the questions and the answers. If you have some kind of question or problem or something, you could express it, and then I'll make a ruling, or I'll guide you or offer some advice, or whatever the case may be.
Let's get into it. I believe you have an opening statement, Ms. Thomsen. Is that right?
