I agree with you that we should vote on it, Mr. Laforest, but I would like to have the vote at the end of the second meeting. At that time we'll be better able to determine whether or not we do need him. Again, there is nobody more determined than me to get deputies here, but in this case he did inform the committee that he was scheduled for surgery, and I certainly accepted that. We couldn't cancel the meeting.
What I would like to do is this, Mr. Laforest. I accept your points; they're all valid. But I believe the motion should be voted upon at the end of the second meeting, because Mr. Marshall is not going to be here today, as you can see, and he's not going to be here on Tuesday. At that point in time we'll all be able to make an informed decision, collectively, on whether or not we want to hear from him.
Mr. Williams, do you have a comment on this issue?
