No. Mr. Chair, with all due respect, that is out of line. You're required to make a ruling. If your ruling is that you're not going to make a ruling, I'll challenge that. I have never come across this before. I understand what you're trying to do. In your capacity that you're in right now, with all due respect, I think it's fair to all members of this committee and anybody, particularly the witnesses, that you address the issue.
