Thank you very much.
I'm going to pause for a second before I go to our next witness.
Clerk, whenever someone on Zoom answers a question, we're getting a very loud sound in our ears as if it's coming from the committee floor. I don't know if you're hearing the room there, but it's jarring, and I think it's very hard on the ears.
Could you have the technical team there try to clean that up? I have not noticed it before, although I don't often do these meetings remotely, but I can tell that some of our witnesses are having trouble. It's both jarring in the ear and interrupting their chain of thought.
If that could be cleaned up, please, I think it would be appreciated by everybody who is on the line. I see Mr. DeMarco nodding as well. I can tell that it is having an impact on the answers from our witnesses.
If there's anything that I need to see, Clerk, just send me a text and we will suspend if we have to. I will turn now to Mr. Dong.
Mr. Dong, it's over to you. You have the floor for five minutes.
