I suppose somebody should say that it is good that we are all back here and that we did not have to terminate our activities. I think all of us around the table feel that. I support what has been said about having as full an attendance as possible and, preferably, a full attendance for votes because that is a basic principle for reaching consensus. I understand Deputy Bríd Smith's suggestion that we vote this week and I think that there is some logic to it. I have a concern about voting tomorrow, however, because we have also moved the time from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Some of us would certainly have a difficulty with being here right until the end of the meeting tomorrow.
