Thank you, Mr. Chair, and certainly thank you to the witnesses for coming here.
I'm delighted to join this committee today.
I will start with you, Mr. Barton. I want to say, first of all, thank you for making yourself available to this committee. I was present for the OGGO meeting, and I certainly appreciated how you answered the questions. In much the same vein, I want to say today that on a very personal level, I am offended when, in committees, we question the character of any witness.
Mr. Barton, I'm going to ask what I believe I asked in the last OGGO meeting. Is there anything you would like to say to this committee, in light of the rapid-fire questions and the very brief period of time you've been given to answer questions?
