I'll confess to a bit of confusion, because six minutes ago the chair was, I believe, being faulted for not permitting Mr. Lake to ask his full round of questioning. You then intervened with the clerk, who indicated that we have the room available. I thought there was consensus among committee members and the witnesses to continue so that we could could conclude a full round of questioning, which is what I thought Mr. Moore was originally raising a concern about. Now it seems that the exact opposite concern is being raised.
I would ask for some clarity, because I personally believe, and I believe my Liberal colleagues believe, that if people want to ask a full round of questions and if the witnesses in the room are available, we should continue so that we can do just that.
Thank you.
