Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have a few things before I get going.
I will say that I'm a bit surprised. This is the first time this has happened to me in nine years. I had the pleasure of serving with an opposition chair by the name of Tom Lukiwski, who is an honourable man and who was a good chair at government operations. He never once called a meeting with 50 minutes' notice. I want to be respectful of everybody's time. I don't think that is being respectful of everybody's time.
On this particular matter, if we want to continue discussing it, I am happy to sign a 106(4) with the opposition. I'm sure they will want to come back next week. I'm happy to sign a 106(4) with you guys, so we can get to work next week if this discussion is not over. I will happily draft it and we can all sign it, because I know this is very important to you guys.
Secondly, I will talk about the bullying tactics of two members of this particular committee—Mr. Perkins and Mr. Genuis—who have instructed their fan club to call my office.
I want you guys to know that I've instructed my staff to give out your phone numbers. They're calling my office and then they're calling your offices. That's just so we're clear. You can do your little videos outside. You can do your Facebook videos after this. Know that you can do that and instruct your fan club to call my office, but they're calling your offices afterwards.
