As someone who attends on a regular basis, I would have no difficulty with that, but it is impossible to keep this pace up and people have not attended other extra meetings. Theoretically, it is wonderful. In practice, it is difficult. Deputies are attending other meetings. We are running in and out. Let us be realistic. We have given it our all to produce the report on Project Eagle. The Chairman knows that more than anyone. Let us not decide to have second meetings when it is impossible and would take from other business. People do not attend. I have attended meetings where we needed to find quorums or the meetings were cancelled. While I respect what has been said, the reality on the ground is far from easy. We would have to give this level of commitment at two meetings. I am repeating myself and will not have made my point.
