Lalita has not asked to leave. Lalita has graciously stayed, as has Mr. Shaw and everyone else who's helping us in this meeting here. So I don't see it as an issue, and I don't want to make it into an issue.
If she feels the need to leave, she will indicate to me, and I will raise it with the committee. Perhaps we will decide whether we need another researcher, but I would just point out that if Mr. Shaw stays, which he's indicated to me he will, he is more than capable, by himself, of answering any and all questions on telecommunications, and I think all members of the committee would agree with that.
If it is an issue that arises, Lalita will inform me, and we will deal with it then. I prefer not to get into an argument about it now.
Monsieur Petit, you have the floor. We'll hear your points of view.
