Hold it there. I'm going to suspend just for a second. I'm going to first endeavour to get this out to all members. Hold on a second....
I'll call this meeting back to order. The email has been sent.
I'm going to allow Mr. Perkins to wrap up his comments briefly. I have a request to then have the last member ask the witnesses questions. It will take five minutes. If there's agreement, I'll do that.
Now, that does circumvent the normal procedure, which is to turn to motions right away. I will remind people that this opens up the opportunity to end the meeting, but I will bring us back to deal with this matter immediately if that happens.
In good faith, I think we're going to do that. I have been not scheduling meetings next week during caucus, but if there is funny business on this and this agreement is upended for any reason, I will use the powers I have to return to this forthwith.
Mr. Perkins, you have the floor briefly. I will then turn to Ms. Bradford to ask her last round of questions; then I will excuse the witnesses, and we'll turn to this motion.
Mr. Perkins, you have the floor.
