Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would also like to thank Mr. von Finckenstein for being here.
Welcome to our committee. I'm very grateful to you for accepting this position.
I'd like to continue in the same vein as my colleague Mr. Villemure. First of all, you seemed to hesitate before answering Mr. Villemure's question about why you felt there weren't many candidates for this position.
I'll be more direct: Did you hesitate to accept this position?
