I'm going to take a moment, and perhaps this will allow all of us to take a pause, to take a breath. I do believe that if certain comments are not helpful, then they perhaps don't need to be made. We are debating a motion, which means we need to advance relevant points.
I will also say that a lot of what we experience or believe might be founded in our own experiences, our own values, ideologies and so forth. For us to label others, I'm not sure that this is helpful. What one might perceive in what Mr. Cooper referred to as a tantrum and what somebody else might perceive is a debatable point.
Right now, the issue in front of us is an amendment that I understand you proposed, so let's stay focused on that and let's get this work done. If we're not able to, I will use my prerogative as chair to suspend this meeting, but I think we all want to get to work and get it done.
Mr. Cooper, I suggest we all—every single one of us—take a breath and stay focused. Let's get there.
Mr. Cooper, you have the floor.
