Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
First of all, I'm not a regular member of this committee. I'm filling in for one of the regular members. We heard the very first questioner say that in his 17 years, I believe Mr. Stoffer said, on this committee, he had never heard a more remarkable testimony. I heard Royal more or less confirm that and call your remarks “eloquent”—I think that was the word he used.
I'm a regular member of the health committee, but I want to say that, just in filling in today, I have experienced one of the most remarkable meetings I have ever attended of any committee. I can tell you, I will never forget what I heard you say today. I'll start by saying, if I may, that I agree with the word “eloquent” about your remarks. I would also say succinct and brilliant for your use of time in recounting your experiences.
Did you put that together yourself? That is my first question.
