I checked with the clerk: as long as a committee member wants to speak, it is my duty as Chair to give him or her the opportunity to do so. I think that answers your question, Mr. Nadeau.
However, from what I understand, you are appealing for cooperation among committee members so that we can move forward. I'm sure the witnesses have followed our discussion with interest, but we want to hear from them this morning.
Do you agree with me that we should hear my colleagues? I think that's the wish of committee members.
Mr. Lemieux.
