Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, for that. It's unfortunate that the motion didn't pass. We need to get on with the work. Maybe the members of the government side will realize that sometime very soon.
With that in mind, I would like to turn my questions to the witnesses here on the issue of consultants. I'd like to ask the witnesses this question—a very basic question. Should consultants be self-regulated? We've heard a whole host of problems from people, from other witnesses, so I just have a basic question on that. A simple yes or no answer would suffice.
I'd just like to get a bit of rundown from everybody. Maybe we can start with Mr. McMichael and Mr. Ottey.
