As he suggested, I do not want to continue with that. I do not want to impugn the motives of anyone who may have resigned previously. As to what their motives or reasons for departing are, some may have good reasons, personal or otherwise, in their daily lives. I am not impugning members of the board which we have dissolved. That would only add to what has been the problem here, namely, a cauldron of speculation and accusation that has not been in the interests of inland fisheries but has been of a personal nature. Doubling down on that would not get any of us further.
