Mr. Chair, I would like some direction for the witness to at least speak with a certain amount of respect for members around the table. We've had the castigation about whether questions are the craziest he's ever heard, and other things like that.
You know, there's a certain amount of good faith in terms of the line of questioning and wanting to get answers. We don't need insults back in the opposite direction.
Mr. Chairman, I'd like some direction for the witness to adhere to a reasonable standard.
For the member who is visiting this committee as a witness, I would add that this is a very collegial committee. We have a certain amount of respect, member to member, across the table. That has been the modus operandi for this committee. It has been a productive committee as a result. We don't need that poisoning of the well today.
