Mr. Chairman, it is sort of a point of order. What my colleague, Mr. Regan, just said makes sense. The witnesses were not told which programs would be specifically targeted through the budget cuts and wanted to know whether we knew. The fact is that we don't know anything more than they do.
Having said that, Mr. Chairman, I am not challenging your ruling; it is a good ruling. Even though I had other questions on the main areas affected by the budget cuts, which would have given us an opportunity to gather additional information, we should now be thanking the people who appeared as witnesses today. The Committee does have some business to attend to, and the meeting is scheduled to end at 1 p.m.
