It's in response to what you just said, sir, about the two other witnesses not indicating that they would be here.
I can only say that I had my assistant telephone the clerk's office, I believe it was, at least twice, saying that generally speaking when we have committees on Mondays they don't start until 11 o'clock because people have to travel from afar. You and I live in the same area, and you made it, but it was difficult for me to get here by 10 o'clock. I did make it somewhere prior to 11, but I came here; I'm here. We had some witnesses this morning, a whole bunch of witnesses—I don't know how many there were—but we really didn't finish our questioning. I'm just rather annoyed at the process that has been followed, that we have one witness this afternoon.
You must have known on Friday, sir, that these other two witnesses weren't going to appear, and yes, there's some business that's being scheduled, but basically, unless that goes on and on and on, which I hope it doesn't, this afternoon will be a waste. I just consider it poor planning on your part, sir, because you're in charge of these committee meetings, and to arrange for only one witness on a Monday afternoon when we're all prepared to work here until five, somehow you've blown it.
