Mr. Chair, the record is quite clear on the basis for the programming motion that we have, that, in fact, it was the Conservatives who blocked us from being able to have a scheduling motion to hear from any witnesses. Therefore, this is where we are. It's unfortunate that they forced our hands to be here, but it was more than 25 hours that we spent, and we were unable to get 10 witnesses.
