Thank you very much, gentlemen, for appearing before us today. We appreciate your coming before us and being part of our final meeting of the year. This is our final meeting. We appreciate your testimony and your coming on short notice. We didn't give you a lot of notice, but we appreciate your being available.

Committee members, we are now going to suspend. You can greet our witnesses and chat with them with regard to other questions, and then we'll return for committee business in camera.

I call our meeting back to order.

I inadvertently said that we'd be moving in camera, simply because that has been the prerogative of the committee when we're dealing with future business. But in fact we need consensus if that's what we are going to do.

Sometimes it's less political if we move in camera and deal with these things. Is it the desire of the committee to move in camera?

I'm not seeing consent.

Mr. Rickford.
