As a member of both committees, I can inform members that the health committee is dealing with this issue. Issues regarding decision-making that date back a long time will be discussed by it. The issue of costs will come into the debate, including projected costs, costs already committed to and predicted costs. From the health committee's perspective, it is a question of decision-making and the timelines involved. We ought to be careful to ensure both committees will not do more or less the same thing. I suggest the Chairman talk to the Chairman of the other committee or that two clerks talk to each other about this, such that we could analyse projections and costs, while the other committee could analyse decision-making and policy.
