I am still waiting for an answer to my second question. While I am on feet—through you, Chair—I understand what you are saying about presence in the area. It says overnight in the area and it says other than if you are exempt. It says the secretary determines who is exempt. Then it goes through a series of things to determine who is exempt, but it seems to me you have to apply to be exempt.
