Mr. Chair, I am going to address only one point.
We had agreed to extend the time we were to spend hearing all the witnesses by a half-hour. But I will point out that one opposition party has not called its witnesses to date. We could have rejected that, but we nonetheless agree to it, and it created an overflow.
When that overflow was agreed to, we also had to agree to an additional 30 minutes to hear the witnesses. I think that one opposition party must really consider its own responsibility. We took an important step. We agreed that the witnesses would be heard, even after the date set by the committee. We asked for an extra half-hour, but now it is being taken away. It is being cut, from the steering committee's perspective...
I know there are witnesses waiting for us, and we apologize to them. Like everyone around the table here, I represent people. We had agreed on something. We had rules to follow, but one of the parties didn't follow them, and that is why we are stuck where we are.
