Quickly, as a follow-up, Mr. Chair, I appreciate.... I've been in your position. I've chaired committees in the past myself. I understand what you're dealing with and what the moving parts are, and I know that decisions have to be made. I am indicating to you that I think what would be helpful as chair in situations like that is to have a communication with at minimum the vice-chairs, and ideally the members of the steering committee at least, just so we're aware of what is going on. Perhaps there can be alternative ways of dealing with things so that we don't cut into witness time.
It would be my estimation in this situation, for example, that we do have an in camera meeting to deal with a report on the 28th, which is a week from today, and we could have probably added those items to that agenda. That would have been a suggestion to deal with it.
I'm just saying that in the future I would ask that you commit to having a conversation with your colleagues prior to making decisions like that. That's all I'm asking.
