I would like to say that we have a very good parliamentary secretary here as well. But in all seriousness, Mr. Volpe, with respect, I've always admired your work greatly, but I had a hard time keeping up with you and Mr. Kennedy in relation to the questions and answers to the ministers. Maybe that's because I'm a little slower than the rest of you, but I really did have difficulty following the line of questioning and understanding what the point was.
I would like to say, though, if you're prepared to be here, I'm prepared to be here. I'd like to get this next bill out. I would like to work, hear the witnesses, and get it done as quickly as possible. With all members being present, especially given regard to the bill itself and the possibility of having it through the House the next week, I think we should meet, hear the witnesses, and get this job done.
