Thank you.
In all the committees I've been on, it was normal practice to have three in the first hour and three in the second hour. If we are getting down to two witnesses, it seems as though we are trying to drag this out as long as we can. It will probably set up a good chance to continue to beat up on the CBC.
If that's the agenda, then they will continue to beat up the CBC. I'm sure they will have a lot of opportunity to beat up on the CBC outside of this committee, but it's certainly a waste of our time to stretch this out, when we have issues on ethics and privacy and we are supposed to do the lobbying review.
But of course this is Dean's court. We're only the supplicants in Dean's court.
I would like to suggest that we follow normal practice, but we are going to get whatever we get. We could get down to one witness if he wants.
