Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, while the Minister is waiting for his witnesses, I am wondering if I could have permission of the House to go upstairs and get my files because I didn't know we weren't going to take a break and I have been here all afternoon, but I do want to make a comment on general comments, but I don't have my notes with me.
