Well, they've been more than fair. I can appreciate there's conflicting scheduling and he's offered to come two days later, so I don't sense a situation where he's resisting us and throwing up roadblocks.
I think it's up to us to decide, Chair, whether it's in our best interest in terms of the work we're trying to do whether to split it up and have the commissioner, or allow it all to happen on one day but go with...and they've offered us two deputies.
Given that we have clear evidence that the commissioner is not trying to avoid us, I would suggest to colleagues that maybe it is in the best interest of work in this circumstance that we go with the deputies and stay to the one session.
But those are just my thoughts off the top of my head. Given the fact that we know the commissioner...and if it weren't for that piece, I wouldn't be so willing. But in this case I think it's clear the commissioner is not attempting in any way to avoid us.
Maybe it's in our best interest to go ahead with deputies. But I'd be interested to hear from colleagues.
