The point is well made. The whole presentation has been very informative. There is a great deal of empathy from the members in regard to the particular situation in which the witnesses find themselves. We are all very supportive of equal access to education for all. As I indicated, the Minister has not written to us to say he wanted us to make a recommendation to him. He has written to us about a number of other situations, of course. We discussed that earlier this morning. However, we will be happy to make a recommendation, in particular when we are considering funding for higher level in the context of the Cassells report. We will take on board the presentation that was made this morning.
