Yes, it is. Every time they report something, we have to deal with what they said in our next meeting. I'll come to that.
To the Canadians and the media watching this, the original agenda of this meeting was to have witnesses we all agreed on. The discussion on that motion was adjourned. There was a conversation held among the parties that tried to come to a solution. This, apparently, is now on hold. That's number one. On Tuesday and Wednesday, and up to 8:53 a.m. this morning, we were led to believe that we were going to have a meeting calling officials. Our team is prepared. I'm glad they're here, because we want to get to the bottom of this.
Now what we are hearing is that this email from Mr. Clark was sent as a response. Driven by the fact that this committee, all of a sudden, amended its agenda at 8:53 a.m. this morning, he decided to send this letter. Basically, what we are trying to tell Canadians is that Mr. Clark was watching our committee at 8:53 a.m., saw a change to the notice of meeting, and said, “Let me start writing this letter.” We received that letter. That letter was supposed to further clarify. It didn't have anything to do with this meeting.
Therefore, I want to make sure everybody understands that the original agenda we are hoping to get to today is on asking very clarifying questions of the officials who are here. The letter sent by Mr. Tom Clark does not have any relevance to the notice of meeting that was amended at 8:53 a.m.
I have a bunch of other stuff to say, but I'm going to choose not to, because I'm hoping to get to the officials.
Thank you.
