I'm listening to all the points, and let's keep in mind that each person gets five minutes. How they choose to use it or throw it away is up to them in terms of whether they're focused on the matter at hand. There are certain times when comments and questions go across the line. That mostly plays a role when people are clearly running the clock--when they have the floor and they want to hold it, and opposition members are making the points of order to force them to stay in line in the hopes that they can't finish the quasi-filibuster. In this case, it's an individual member's time. I'm not seeing anything overt enough for me to rein in the questioning.
As usual, Mr. Byrne is very skilled at getting close to the line, but in my determination he has not yet crossed it.
You have time for a very short question, sir, and a very brief response from our witnesses. Please go ahead, Mr. Byrne.
