We've been through two meetings previous to this one where the Conservatives have filibustered the meeting and not really let anybody else speak. I'm just wondering if my honourable colleague intends on filibustering this meeting. I would rather hear from the witnesses from the natural health products industry who have been called here and have the benefit of their testimony and experience before we even vote on the motion by Dr. Ellis. If he's intending on filibustering the meeting, then maybe we can let the witnesses go if he doesn't want to hear from them. I think it's rude to let the witnesses sit here, when they've come here to testify, if Dr. Ellis has no intention of letting the committee hear from them or of having these witnesses lend us their expertise and experience, which I would like to have before this committee.
