Mr. Chairman, after that virulent attack by my colleague Mr. Tonks, I feel compelled to come to the defence of my colleague Mr. Cullen.
I'm sure if we have this kind of a hearing, what the media would take from that probably would be the most active interaction between a member of the committee and the witnesses from BP, or what have you, no doubt, but that doesn't mean it's not worthwhile to have a discussion and that we wouldn't all learn from this.
I want to say that Nathan less frequently makes a circus of the committee than some of his colleagues do. I think it's unfair what Alan said about him.
