Could I have a chance to respond?
We're in public, so it doesn't really matter, but when you say you have something you may loop back to, which you are avoiding discussing, you're talking about the Del Mastro situation.
I appreciate the fact that you're showing some sensitivity to this, David. I really do. I think your inference was that you hoped the government wasn't trying to do something in this bill that would perhaps protect Mr. Del Mastro. That is not the case. I'll say that publicly, and I think it's going to be demonstrated probably in very short order. I believe this committee doesn't know this, because it's in the Speaker's hands, but it will come to us if the Speaker finds a prima facie case. I can assure you that this does not have anything to do with the Dean Del Mastro case.
I understand you have some difficulties with it, and that's fine. We can deal with those, but it is not tied to that in any shape or form. You have my word on that.
