I appreciate that.
On this point of order, in the past nine years I've been on this committee, when we asked for a department or person, other people could attend with them or in their stead. I am fine ruling to allow Mr. Cousineau. We have that rule. There was no one else on the motion, but it was a request from Global Affairs, and the committee has approved it.
I'm good with that, so we'll continue.
