Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I had an opportunity to speak on this at length on Thursday, so I won't be long. I'll ask others to provide their input as to whether they feel it's appropriate that witnesses appear as panels, with no more than two witnesses per panel, and that each panel appear for a minimum of one hour.
I was pleased that Mr. Kramp agreed with this notion. At Thursday's meeting he said, if I paraphrase correctly, that it would be disrespectful to the witnesses and counterproductive to have a large group appear before us, with the consequence that committee members could not pose questions to each and every individual witness. And of those who were indeed questioned, there would be limited time for each witness to provide answers. This is an important point.
