I absolutely am. From what the Deputy has said, I think he thinks it will be quite thick but it will not be. It will only be a number of pages. The resolutions and solutions will also probably only be a number of pages. It will be very small but there is a large amount of data that needs to be gone through to ensure there is accurate information in it. What will be brought to Cabinet is what will be published. There will not be 60 pages, for example, hidden from members. They will get everything. Whatever goes to the Cabinet sub-committee will go to Cabinet and it will then be published. The Deputy is absolutely entitled to have it; that is no problem. That is true even if the sub-committee and Cabinet say "No" to me. I will still publish it.
