The invitation to these witnesses today was clear: we wanted a general briefing on the operations of their departments.
There will be plenty of opportunity for each and any person and/or member of this committee to discuss the issues of concern that Mr. Byrne is raising. As you know, the government has no objection to that. As a matter of fact, we look forward to that.
But I think there is a time and a place, Chair, and I think we're wasting our guests' time right now. We're asking for a briefing on how they operate their department and how we operate with them.
