I have the floor now because I am chairing this meeting. Senator Buttimer was making a point while Senator Mullen was not here. In fairness to Senator Mullen, he walked in the door as his name was being mentioned. There was nothing negative being said about him. Senator Buttimer was defending me. I appreciate that because I will not defend myself as Chair. I will act and let people judge how I behave as Chair. The next speaker is Senator Ruane who has five minutes.
