I fully agree with that. The problem for this committee is that it is not the first time that we have received opening statements very late, so if we cancel meetings every time that happens we will very rarely get business done because, as has been said, from their perspective, they took a decision not to furnish us with the information. Perhaps they thought it would be leaked to the media, but that is no justification for it. It is reasonable for us to have a recess, perhaps until after 10 a.m., but we need to meet them today. As Deputy McDonald said, we will probably need them to come back again. It may be that following questions today there are some board members who were central to some of the board meetings where minutes were recorded and they will also have to come back before the committee.
