Thank you very much.
To our witnesses, thank you very much for being here.
Professor, we apologize that our time was short with you. We have bells that we have to move forward on, but I want to thank you very much.
Do we want to deal with this motion now, or do we want to deal with it the next time we meet?

There's something that comes up for next Tuesday, I want to mention right away, and that is, you requested that the minister appear. He is willing to appear, and next Tuesday is the only time he can come. He's available for an hour, but here's the rub: it has to be from 8:15 to 9:15. So we have to move the meeting to 8:15, if everybody agrees.

Can we deal with this?
We have a deal here on the motion. Perhaps I can read it into the record and get that done.

I think we should deal with the minister coming and the time, and let's deal with it on Tuesday.

I was hoping if we just agreed to something, we could get that done.

What I will ask you to do in the meantime, Mr. Dewar, is this. Why don't you submit it so that it can be circulated? We will deal with it on Tuesday. Okay?
All right, so we are going to invite the minister for Tuesday.

Which minister? We have invited two, right? Did we hear back from your minister?
