According to the Standing Orders, which I'll just read here, I think we need to suspend.
Just give me one second and I will pull up the section in the Standing Orders.
I'm sorry. It's not the Standing Orders. It's the rules of practice and procedure. It says, “During the clause-by-clause consideration of a government bill, officials from the...departments concerned normally [remain] before committee as witnesses...in order to provide technical explanations of the effect of individual clauses of the bill and the technical implications of proposed amendments.”
I have a technical question. According to the rules, I'm supposed to have an individual. I would respectfully ask the chair to suspend until we can have either Mr. Stuart or Mr. Countryman. I'd be very pleased for either of them to attend.
