Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Yes, I do understand the importance, but I also understand the importance of the witnesses being here. We're ready to ask them the questions that we have. There's a lot of important information. I know my constituents are waiting on answers in terms of rapid testing and a lot of other important matters.
With respect to our witnesses, we need to hear from them. They took the time; we prepared our questions. I think that's what we need to do here.
Thank you.
