No problem.
If your gentleman wants to come before us, I'll ask him a question as well.
Mr. Chair, I just want to make it clear to Mr. MacKenzie that the committee has heard and has received several concerns with respect to civilian versus rank and file--civilian issues dealing with merit and bonus pay, as well as the issue that is before us with respect to the six-month period.
I would hope that you would take back to your minister in the very strongest terms the concern the committee has that these things ought to be addressed forthwith. I of course accept the withdrawal of Mr. Ménard's proposal.
Thank you, Chair.
