Thank you very much.
I'd like to return to the issue that Mr. Strahl raised regarding the use of a recording.
The clerk has pointed out to me rule 299, also found in O'Brien and Bosc:
There are no specific rules governing the nature of questions which may be put to witnesses appearing before committees, beyond the general requirement of relevance to the issue before the committee. Witnesses must answer all questions which the committee puts to them.
Again, these are rules that I'm not aware of, but you know, the recording could be considered in nature part of a question. I would probably recommend that in future, if something like this is done again, the whole committee be forewarned. I don't think this should be a regular practice. It's the first time I've ever seen that done, but it would seem to be within the rules. At any rate, as a courtesy to your fellow members, I'd recommend that we be forewarned.
We probably have a couple of minutes left, Mr. Arnold. It's not much time.
