Colleagues, if you don't mind, please take your places around the table.
I'm looking at the clock, and I feel uncomfortable, on your behalf as well, for the fact that we've had witnesses who had planned to come here and have waited this long for us to go through our deliberations. It's taking a few minutes to try to coordinate what the main motion might be.
Given that we may be here for a little longer, I thought that as a courtesy I would ask colleagues around the table if they would allow me to give the witnesses the opportunity to leave, with our apologies for having taken this amount of their time. I don't think we'd like to keep them any longer. They're welcome to stay, of course, but I think it would be unfair for us to ask them to stay and maybe be here until 5:30.
We'll try to make arrangements at another time. We appreciate that you have been this patient with us.
I've consulted with just some colleagues during a discussion here. If there's anybody who thinks that's an inappropriate action on the part of the committee, please say so. Otherwise, I'll thank all of our witnesses for their time.
Mr. Saxton.
