I am sorry to disappoint Mr. Fox. I did not want to cast aspersions on his organisation. He made a comment that his was a break-away organisation from an existing group. I wanted to know how many people broke away from the organisation and how many members there are. Mr. Fox implied he was representing a large body by saying he had a mailing list of 500. I was simply pointing out that a mailing list is not reflective of a membership of an organisation. However, I accept Mr. Fox's bona fides. Everyone around the table wants to achieve the same ultimate goal which is the elimination of tyres and waste in our countryside and what we are discussing is how to achieve it in a cost-effective manner.
