Hold on. I am the Chairman. There is no reason that the Deputy cannot say anything he wishes but, in fairness to our guests, that is what I asked them to comment on. Whatever criticisms the Deputy might have of what they said is his opinion. However, they are here in good faith. I am happy to stand over my invitation to them to come here in that context. I said to them outside that we want a constructive engagement. That means the Deputy can make his points but we also need to concentrate on how to ensure things change. That is what the meeting is about.
