That is no harm. This is the first meeting. The one thing we should not do is rush our business and thus not do it thoroughly. I know that the Minister for Rural and Community Development and his Minister of State, Deputy Kyne, are anxious that we go through every line of what they are at and show an interest. There is nothing more frustrating for the public servants to spend many hours preparing an interesting and full brief yet not have it discussed in absolute detail line by line. It is also a bit annoying to spend a lot of time reading everything and thinking about it yet not get an opportunity to go through it literally subhead by subhead, which is the normal process as Deputy Penrose knows well.
