I want to caution that if we drift into an area that speaks only to one's view of the suitability, capacity etc. of the candidate based on experience, I have to apply it fairly across the board. I am trying to avoid the situation because I do believe that we need her. That is my personal belief. As Chairman, I have to ask the Minister to hold at that particular point, as in fairness I have already asked Deputy Wallace. The address today is primarily in regard to the methodology and I ask members to please assist me with that. I return to Deputy Wallace.
