Mr. Chair, on a point of order before you begin, I just wanted to advise the committee and the witnesses that I am not feeling well. I am well enough to be at the meeting. I am isolated due to testing positive for COVID on Saturday. However, I am probably going to be turning my camera off during the meeting.
I wanted the witnesses to know this because I will be listening. I'm going to be taking notes, but I don't want it to be seen as any disrespect if my camera is off. I find that I go a little while and then I have to wrap myself up like a burrito and lie on the couch. Even if I'm wrapped up like a burrito, I am going to be listening intensely to really important witnesses that I care a lot about.
I just wanted to let you know that I put a tie on just to be able to say that.
