Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I find it a bit strange to hear my colleague say that. If we do that for the rest of the meeting, I agree we should allow the witnesses to return to their jobs, which is ironic. For three weeks, we've invited witnesses to appear who have remained seated for hours and listened as the Conservatives filibustered.
This committee really isn't taking this seriously. For hours and even weeks, we've heard people talk about everything except topics related to our business.
Mr. Blaikie, you say the Conservatives normally think it's important to earn their pay and do good work for the salary they're paid, but I don't think that's true. They have no regard for their salary.
Using a quick calculation method, I've come up with the following result: we've wasted $200,000 of taxpayer money for absolutely nothing.
