Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Chair, we have the utmost confidence in Mr. Friday and we look forward to hearing him. I am certain that every member of this committee will be satisfied with his appointment when he does come.
I think it's important that we move on to the matter at hand. We already have a reduced timeframe to deal with the witnesses we have. We know that they have come.... Some of them have schedules that will not allow them to stay through the entire meeting. I think it would be entirely disrespectful if we didn't move on to the meeting at hand.
