Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm really shocked—like, sincerely shocked—at the misleading statements made by Mr. Julian again. This is becoming a partisan issue, which I'm going to try to completely ignore, because frankly it's not fair to these people who've been appointed.
Just to correct Mr. Brison, these are not nominees; these are people who have in fact been appointed. As I suggested, due diligence can be achieved by reviewing, on our own, the resumés of each of these individuals. If there is a concern, that ought to be brought to committee, which was suggested, for whatever reason...and I don't understand why Mr. Julian chooses to twist that into us not wanting to look at them. I in fact have looked at them, and I'm very proud of some of the measures that have been taken to look at their qualifications, etc.
I would ask Mr. Julian to specifically name the people who have been appointed that he wants to look at. If he could specifically name them, I then would have a follow-up from there, because I'm interested, very much, in highlighting some of the very qualified appointees we have.
So if he would do that, I'd like to have another chance afterwards to have a follow-up.
