That would be great. With regard to extending the committee's remit, there was a question about us bringing forward our pet projects. The Deputies and I are concerned about many issues but that is not the point of this forum. However, the petitions must be evidence-based and come from individual queries which are grouped together and analysed to establish whether are trends and public policy issues to which we need to attend. A submission from the CIB on that would be most welcome as well as elaborating on the suggestions made.

Would it be helpful for us to go out on the road? We ask people to come in here. How important would it be from the CIB's point of view for us to meet people directly? We will not necessarily take that on board.
