I was. Sorry.
We're all right, then. We'll have Monsieur Mayrand in the first hour and we'll find out clarification on the other, and if possible have a witness. If not, we will discuss in the second hour what we are doing going forward.
Mr. Scott.

On a point of order, the way the motion was rewritten by Mr. Opitz's amendment, I don't think we have the option but to follow Tom's advice, because it says to start with the clerk, right?

The Chair Conservative Joe Preston
Without giving your chair and his clerk a chance to really talk this through, we'll get to that, exactly.

Sorry, and I didn't mean to intrude. It was only that we didn't substitute other witnesses—

It's okay. We sometimes have to do this on the fly, right? That's how we will leave it: that would be first.
Is there anything else for the good of this committee today?
The meeting is adjourned.
