As you all know, I am very strict when it comes to speaking time. My colleagues sometimes give me happy or displeased looks, depending on how much time I allow. Look at the clock on your cell phone: if you have the floor for 6 minutes and you ask a question at 5 minutes 58 seconds, there won't be enough time for an answer. The reason I'm as strict as I am is that it allows us to do two rounds of questions. It's because of this that we can hear different questions and different points of view.
As usual, each witness will have five minutes to make their opening remarks. If a witness is unable to complete their statement in the five minutes allowed, they will have the opportunity to return to it by answering questions from the members.
Ms. Hendricks, the floor is yours for a maximum of five minutes.
