Je dois avouer que j'avais initialement pensé comparaître devant le comité la semaine dernière, au moment où j'avais fait parvenir cet article pour publication, de sorte que votre comité aurait reçu mon témoignage directement plutôt que par ce moyen.
I should say I had originally thought I would be appearing before the committee last week, when I had submitted that article for publication so that this committee would have the benefit of receiving my evidence directly rather than through that means.
