The Chair Liberal Yasmin Ratansi

--some committee members had a commitment and they had to leave. I didn't want the witnesses to see empty chairs.That is why I asked committee members if it was all right. They said it was. You know, when an urgency occurs.... Some people have government responsibilities and they need to go. I wanted to give them the courtesy of that.

Yes, Ms. Smith.
