I thank the witnesses for their presentation. I felt it was very useful. Obviously, we are trying to focus on the recommendations from the Citizens' Assembly and come to a conclusion in the writing of our report. I would like the issue of bias to be dealt with at some point, perhaps next week. This concerns the names of the organisations that have come in here. A large number of witnesses have appeared, and they have given neutral legal advice. We need to address that. I ask the Chair that the committee address this next week.
