Thank you, Madam Chair. I am somewhat surprised by that. I did hear the bells start to ring as I raced down from my office, thinking that perhaps someone had called a quorum. However, it is not worth continuing on. As I say, we were beaten fairly and squarely, as well as by the bell. I thank Senator McLucas and you, Madam Chair, for making it clear.
