Actually, there are technical issues, but the other issue is that we only have about 30 minutes left. By the time we sign off from this one and go on to another one, I don't think it does justice to our analysts to be able to hear what the committee members want to instruct with regard to drafting instructions. I think it would be better for us to reschedule that to possibly at the end of the next meeting, if we can do it at all. Doing one set of witnesses for the salmon and then going into drafting instructions might be a better choice.
There were technical issues. They may be straightened out now, but I'm afraid to go in even for 30 minutes and have it fail, and then we lose everything we're doing.
I just want to say, on one of the statements earlier, that everybody's time is their time. What you do with that time is up to you. I try to be as generous as I can at times to allow witnesses to finish an answer, but when it comes to getting unmuted or being heard, that's on your time. Everybody has to be aware of what they're doing as the time rolls around to their particular questioning slot. That way there'll be no time lost in it.
I did allow some free leeway on that this evening, but sometimes it takes away from being able to get to all the questioners. Then we'll have another member probably upset with the chair for allowing others to go over, and they don't get a chance to speak with their questions. I try to be as fair as I can, and I'll continue that, but I would ask everyone to be aware of when their time is up and when their time is about to start. Basically, that's it.
I thank everybody for their co-operation again this evening. Thank you to Nancy, the analysts and all the staff and the interpreters for putting up with us again this evening. I know we're later than usual, but votes were the biggest cause of that.
Again, we'll see everybody Monday evening.
