There are one or two problems. First, as I have said, it is not an agenda item, so other members who may have been interested have not been notified. The second point is would we then have to bring the unions in? Let us be clear about this now. This is what I am concerned about. This is not a judgment committee, court, labour court, labour relations commission, or anything else. It is a public forum. I am concerned about having questions answered by somebody on one side of the dispute and the committee being accused of favouring one side over the other. That is a concern I have.
