I would like to respond, Mr. Chair, because I have a technical question about committee procedure. Mr. Storseth appears to be the third member of the Conservative party at the table. Does he have the right to interrupt me to speak? It does not bother me, but I just want to be sure that he has the right to do so. Either he does or he does not. There are now seven committee members present, three of which are Conservatives, including you. He is the third, and he spends his time interrupting me. I want to know whether he has the right to do so. I think the committee has to give unanimous consent before he is allowed to speak. If so, I definitely do not give my consent, because he will use his time to interrupt me. But I will, of course, give my consent so that the other two Conservative members can speak.
