Deputy Dowds's walking Bill is important to him. On access to the countryside and walking Bills, there is a lot going on in the Department and we are making a lot of progress on this issue. The former Minister, the Commissioner, Mr. Hogan, wrote to this committee stating that he did not have a difficulty with the committee having a specific session to do with this Bill. I would go along with that as well. I and my officials would be available to come in and discuss that. I suppose that has more to do with the committee's agenda.
