I understand there's a little chattering going on in the background there. I don't know what it is all about, but that's all right.
I really respect the CV you have brought to this job. I know it is going to be very challenging. One of the difficulties, too, because this has turned into such a partisan exercise, is that this has turned into a he-said-she-said kind of tattletaling on both sides and an awful lot of partisan grandstanding. I'm anticipating that, with your background, you'll be able to bring a little bit of civility to this process.
So what are your first steps? How are you going to go about getting this ship, these sails, going in the right direction, getting the rudder on the right track? What are you going to do?
