I have a point of order. I'm sorry, Madam Chair.
I just feel that I have to make a comment, as I am only briefly sitting in here.
I have served on a number of committees. It is customary that, if a committee is going to sit past the allotted time—we are all busy, and we all have different meetings that we have to go to—the chair will put the question to the committee whether it is okay that we sit past the allotted time. I appreciate that you were late, and you apologized for that, but for you to just arbitrarily say that we're going to sit to 1:05, without first canvassing the committee, is not our normal committee practice. I think it would have been proper to please petition the committee.
We all have to check. I realize it's only five minutes, but we all have to check our schedules, and for you to just arbitrarily say that we're going to sit past one o'clock is an abuse of power, in a sense.
