Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First of all, I want to thank the witnesses who came prepared to be here today. Please let them know that is no fault of their own that they received a request from the committee and that unfortunately, due to the committee's internal affairs, were not able to speak today.
I would ask you, Mr. Chair, if there is going to be an opportunity for these witnesses to be reinvited to a future committee meeting. Should they be spending their time waiting online as we go through debate on the subamendment, amendment and motion?
