Members will proffer their questions. My intention was to introduce each of the groups with their opening statements and then open it up to members. Questions can be directed at specific witnesses. It would be unfair and a little disrespectful if I were to have the NWCI and Dr. Cahillane held back while there was an engagement ongoing with the committee. I do not think there is anything implied in the non-recognition of IHREC's role and function. I would be grateful if we were in a position to proceed as we are.
