Mr. Chairman, we are also in favour of the status quo. What could possibly justify starting a hearing 15 minutes later, if we don't have quorum from the very beginning? We will be forced to justify ourselves before witnesses. If only one or two members are present, this is rather insulting for the witnesses appearing before us. Quorum is beneficial for everyone, and it is important. As far as we are concerned, we want to keep the status quo. Thank you.
