Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I share my colleague's frustration at the lack of time. I will say we understand all the department officials have a great deal of work to do, and we appreciate the work you all do, but recognize that one of the most important jobs for us as parliamentarians is oversight of government spending. This is a huge outpouring of money.
I would like to ask the chair if we could ask the committee if we can get unanimous consent to ask at least the department officials to stay for the second hour, because we need these answers now.
