I think your comments have been heard, Mr. Holder. Generally as chair, in my previous incarnations, I have allowed members to use their time, whether it's five or eight minutes, in whatever way they see fit, as long as the witnesses don't feel particularly offended. I think they understand that Parliament is Parliament. I think the records will always reflect what the members have chosen to use as their language, and so history will judge them.
