I thank the delegates for attending and for their presentations. I acknowledge the campaign to save the weir.

I am smiling because I am wondering what Solomon would do if he were here. Somebody must take responsibility. Who is in charge? All the contributions were excellent. I want to be fair. I know some of the people in this room and have worked with them. They are thoroughly professional and do a wonderful job. However, we need all sides to be brought into a room and for them to come out with an action plan. To be fair, I know the witnesses are trying to arrange this. However, we seem to be on a Groundhog Day roundabout. I hope we do not see our shadow because if we do, we will be doing this for - is it ten or 20 more years?
