I would add that I would also like to thank Mr. Mendicino for the same reason, because he's been right by Mr. Housefather's side, along with all of us on this issue.
I fully support the original motion proposed by Mr. Housefather. I also agree with Mr. Garrison's amendment. I think both issues need to be addressed by this committee. I think the proposed amendment—and I want to thank Mr. Housefather for his willingness to compromise on the number of meetings—is an elegant solution to address the concerns raised by all. The “four consecutive meetings” component eliminates any concern people have with respect to not being able to address both issues.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
