Rather than waste a lot of time on this, and because we don't have a vice-chair here, with the unanimous consent of the committee, I would certainly be happy to step into the position of chair so you can ask your questions. As a former vice-chair—and a very distinguished one at that—I'd be happy to, just so we can get on and not waste the time of our distinguished guests.
