Thank you very much, Chair.
The reason I want to speak is that I take exception to the comments made earlier by my colleague Mr. Barrett regarding the conversations between the House leaders. We checked with the House leader regarding those comments, and I am sorry, but either someone is telling Mr. Barrett a story, or he is telling us a story, because no calls have gone unanswered.
I think it's very important, in the context of this committee and with the subject that we are discussing, that we understand the importance of having these fulsome discussions.
