Our purpose today is to conduct the hearings. The debate carries that. We can follow up on the issues raised in the debate in a later meeting. Members' priorities for these two gentlemen as they take up their respective roles will be quite clear from the transcript. That is important. We can say that the committee will be fully behind the nominations on the Minister's behalf. I am not sure that we can say so formally but it is quite obvious. That is what the committee is here to discuss and it feeds back through to the Minister, the Department and on to various others.
