Consistent with what I have been saying, it is not going to be my intention as the chair to review, by way of video reference or whatever, items that have occurred before. I am sure that if that member of the Speaker’s panel wants to have a discussion with me about that matter or any of the other matters that, in his nearly two hours in the chair, he had to deal with, he can. Might I say—not that I was able to observe the whole time—that I thought he dealt with that in a very efficient matter. I think that sometimes we just have to have a little bit of give and take. I am sure that, if the occupant of the chair did not believe that he could deal with the matter at the point in time and there were reasons for doing that, that is likely where the matter will be left.
