I thank all three witnesses for their presentations. Members will be aware we have strict speaking times and I hope they will stick to those times and ask questions that are succinct, precise and brief. I do not want to sound like a school teacher but if we spend more time listening to the witnesses who appear before us, we will benefit from getting more information and evidence.

I will call the first of the four speakers on the rotation system this week, which is Senator Ruane.
