Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To follow up on Mr. Abbott's statement, I'd really like to protest. There are so many questions that need to be asked that I don't know where to start.
I could maybe mention to Ms. George that we were talking somewhat about the mining. We haven't even touched on the service sector yet, which is such an important factor in our government and in our economy too.
I have a letter here from Goldcorp protesting allegations, and we need to hear from these people too. This is such an important issue. This is something we need to study much more deeply. I think we've only scratched the surface, so I too am very concerned about the mix of witnesses. I appreciate them all very much.
I want to talk to Mr. Hodge. We've met on another occasion on another committee as well. There is so much more we need to ask you as well. I don't know where to begin, but the one nagging question I have is to Ms. Lissakers.
Forgive me, but who are you, who funds you, and what is your organizational statement? We don't have this information here. We're hearing lots of testimony, but maybe you could just give me a Coles Notes version, please.
