Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
It's simply a matter of logic. The committee began its business, witnesses had to come and appear, but we somewhat abandoned them by simply telling them that business would resume upon our return to the House of Commons. Those people are still waiting. It makes no sense to leave them in that situation. Those who previously spoke don't know the outcome of our proceedings, whereas those who are still waiting to testify are wondering what's happened to us.
It's simply a matter of logic. However, I'm making it a priority so that we can dispose of this matter as soon as possible and the steering committee can then deal with other matters.
