I do not know whether it is appropriate to raise it now, but there are riding instructions for this afternoon. At 2 p.m., we have a meeting with the whistleblower. I do not know what the rules of private session are and I do not know whether we keep a record of it. I gather that there are no actual rules. Precedent is that no transcript be kept, if there is any precedent at all. I do not know what the rules of engagement are in terms of what information we can release afterwards, for example, whether a statement can be issued, whether we can talk freely to the press without mentioning names, etc. Could we have some guidance on this?
