I have listened to all the witnesses' answers and in fairness, it has been an authoritative contribution throughout. However, I am unsure whether I received an answer with regard to the scenario in which a citizen has applied for a position in the public service and has been informed he or she is on a panel. Is one instructed clearly when the nature of that panel changes? I would imagine that is a right, out of respect for that person. When somebody applies for a job, we ask the employer to write back in a letter of explanation. It really pertains to information and communication as much as anything else.
