Marc MacSharry: I thank the Chairman. I am only a guest of the committee. I thank the witnesses for being here and the opportunity to make a few points and put a few questions.

Marc MacSharry: Why does Mr. Watt call him the Secretary to the Government? I must intervene here. Mr. Watt is trying to create an impression here.
