Okay. I am very disappointed. I would have liked to get a turn too. Was that not what was planned? Were there not three rounds of questions?

The Chair Liberal René Arseneault

No. We always do a third round of questions only if we have time left in the hour scheduled for testimony.

Is this because of the technical problems we had at the beginning?

The Chair Liberal René Arseneault

We may have lost a minute because of the technical problems. Also, I allotted an additional minute to each of the parties in the second round of questions. In reality, we rarely manage to have a third round of questions in a one-hour period.

I want to thank the witnesses and wish you luck in your fight, which must go on.

Before I suspend the meeting, for those participating in the meeting by video conference: When you come back after the break, please use the new link that the clerk sent at 9:01 this morning to connect to the in camera portion.

The meeting is suspended.
