I was just going to say that if they did not want to answer me, they should have just said it; there was no need to be turning off the lights.

I will just ask my first question again, if that is all right. The witnesses have called for the forthcoming national disability strategy to be transformative and measurable. Have they established criteria or benchmarks to assess whether future policies genuinely align with their principles and how will these metrics be communicated to the public and monitored over time?
