I'd like to make one statement before we go, Chair.
With all respect to my honourable colleagues--and I do respect all of you--I think we can take our business plan now, our timetable, our workload, our commitments that we've made, and the studies we've evaluated and throw them out the door, because, regretfully, I do believe this committee is now going to break its tradition after six years and become just another partisan tool. I'm really very, very disturbed by that. I believe it; otherwise, I wouldn't say it. All I ask is for you to prove me wrong, please.
