Mr. Chairman, I believe that our clerk worked diligently to get the witnesses who did want to present here this morning. Due to time differences, a full 12-hour time shift between where they presently reside and where we are, it turned out to be insufficient time for us to make that happen.
If I recall correctly, it was Mr. McKay who, when we had witnesses previously, made a very compelling argument that when witnesses have had things said about themselves, their company, and events going on in their country, it's very important that they have the opportunity to at least have a counterbalance to the testimony that has been given. Regrettably, because of the time differences, that wasn't possible. As a consequence of those efforts, however, and in the hope that such was going to be happening, we have not had an opportunity to make any preparations whatsoever for clause-by-clause. Therefore, we would not be prepared to enter into clause-by-clause in the second hour of this meeting.
