I will give the perspective of the committee before asking members to speak. We will reflect on the presentations and suggestions made. To be fair to the delegates in advance of the question and answer session, the proposal made merits consideration by the committee in private session at its next meeting. We need to reflect on how we approach the matter in the light of the compelling argument made. While I do not want to prejudge what other members might say, I thank our guests for the sobering presentations they have made.
