I welcome the witnesses. I absolutely respect their authority. They are bound by statute to implement the views and recommendations of the board. However, they are before this committee now. Has the voluntary aspect of these organisations, and the role that volunteers played over many years, been taken into consideration? Has that formed part of the cost-benefit analysis? If voluntary input within the organisation is lost, how will the organisation replace those people? Has there been an analysis of those costs?

I think it would be fair to say that if the CIB rents offices, it is likely to get space at reduced rates to deliver services. Has an analysis been done on that? Renting in a changed environment, will the CIB have to pay the market rate? Has an analysis been done in that regard?
