Last week I raised a number of issues, one of which was the level of reporting back to the committee. When we hold hearings and listen to witnesses on key issues, there is some level of reporting back. There was a discussion of issues related to third and fourth level institutions and a lot of documentation and correspondence was sought from a number of institutes and universities. Some of it has come in but most of it has not. I propose that we have some structure for it. We agreed that we would meet to examine all of the documentation received. Can it be done in a structured way to identify the key, headline issues? It is an issue on which the committee should report. There is a lot of work yet to be done and we will need to receive all of the correspondence sought. I am not sure if the Chairman or the secretariat has the given the matter any thought.
