Mr. Joseph Nugent:

That is an important point. We are in a position where we are trying to highlight to the organisation at large the responsibility of civilian members within the organisation. It does not always have to be the case that somebody in uniform has to sit here. I would like to think the committee would agree with that. I have explained why the deputy commissioner cannot attend. I have explained that there are other responsibilities including the responsibility for attending the event on behalf of the Commissioner this morning. I have also told the Chairman I will relay the concerns of the committee to the Commissioner and I will do that.
