00:00And Mr. Chair, lastly, may I confirm if the Chairman made an announcement that Mr. Saldico will not be invited?
00:11Yes, as you know, you have been a congressman for many years.
00:16There's what we call inter-parliamentary courtesy.
00:19We do not invite or summon members of Congress in the same manner that they don't invite senators to their hearings.
00:25It is up to the congressmen or senators concerned to appear before their inquiries in aid of legislation.

01:23We have a long day.
01:24I'm going to speak to Mr. Saldico.
01:27All right.
01:27If he's here, we can invite him.
01:30Okay.
01:30Okay, thank you.
01:31No issue there.
01:33Okay, so...
