Thanks, Mr. Chair.
I would note it's unfortunate that this can't be disposed of quickly. I think it would be entirely fair.... A fairly extensive conversation took place at the last meeting and, since the witnesses made their way to the committee—and just to note I thank all the witnesses for doing so—I think it would be unfortunate to drag this out in a prolonged filibuster, as Mr. Fergus seemed to suggest will be the case.
My preference would be for this to be disposed of and voted on. Then, we can get back to the business at hand.
