Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I'm not sure that I'm going to use up my whole five minutes, but I know that I have colleagues who probably have some questions as well.
Welcome to our committee. This has certainly been a very interesting study and many of your observations have been made by others as well. So I think we're going to have a lot to talk about as we begin to look at the recommendations we're going to want to bring forward in regard to where we should go after this study is done.
You have observed, as other witnesses have, that we need to find a way to reduce the level of partisanship at a committee charged with this type of work. There may be some reluctance to include senators, whose participation you mentioned as one way of dialing down the partisanship. Barring that, though, what other ways would you suggest we could use to change the culture of partisanship on a committee like this?
