I was just going to go exactly there, that it's been standard practice in this committee to allow staff to come. I guess the answer to that is just don't ask them the questions if you don't want to.

Thanks, Mr. Johns.

We did have a motion to summons them, because we were not getting confirmation in the regular way that they would attend.
