Indeed, it is ironic that the witness is talking about thwarting democracy. In fact, we have just had a living example of that. The witnesses can tell us what they want to say in the time which is given to them. We can raise points of order and raise issues of relevance amongst ourselves on the committee, but not with regard to witnesses. I think you will agree with me on that point.
