CHAIRPERSON
Yes, but what my colleague is putting to you is that it's really argument.  You're putting argument to the witness.  The witness, his case as I understand it seems to be that they were acting with a political motive.  You're saying they were not.  There's obviously a dispute between the two of you and as my colleague puts it to you, that is something that the panel will have to decide on eventually so it doesn't take your case any further to put what is really a matter of argument to the witness.
