Thank you, and I appreciate just a minute of your time here today.
I appreciate your sending your motion to ask us to study that. We wish we could do it. If the deadline were extended, we could do so under the circumstances today. I was with Mr. Kitchen, the vice-chair of the committee, last night at six o'clock in Washington. We sat with the clerk and looked at the situation; we tried to see if we could get a room in Parliament today. Unfortunately, the room that we wanted is booked; we're in it now. We agreed to do it maybe tonight at 7:30 after votes; unfortunately, with the witnesses from New Brunswick there's a little time difference, so we decided on 9:30 tomorrow morning. That was agreeable. After Mr. Kitchen talked to his counterparts, he decided we could get through this without having the meeting. We agreed as a team not to go forward with this and offer the committee, if they could extend the deadline, we could look at it.
