The heavy lifting on this is being done by the working group. There is a working group of people who have expertise in the area. As Deputy Moynihan said earlier, we cannot all have masters degrees in the high tech aspect of some of these decisions and so forth. That is the reason we retain experts to guide us. The heavy lifting will be done by the working group, but there will be a progress report by the Presidency. I have not seen that progress report yet, but there will be one and we will discuss it. There are some good things in this package that I would like to see progressed, but there are some matters in it that raise quite profound and fundamental questions. They are questions on which we would have to make haste slowly, and I will say that.
