Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I am inclined to share your view on that. But, from my experience, there is a tendency to forget about witnesses who appear via videoconference. It puts them at somewhat of a disadvantage. That's my only caveat. And that may be why some witnesses prefer to appear in person. It's similar to doing a radio interview: it's better to be in the studio than to phone in, as my colleague realized on Saturday. Be that as it may, if it means we can keep costs under control, I agree.
I have a question for you. What happens if the liaison committee refuses to give you the money? Would it come out of your pocket in that case?
