I thank both witnesses for their presentation. I will try not to be rude. I would not want to do that but I suspect like my colleagues, I am taken aback by the way the witnesses have phrased this. I was expecting the Department to come in and go through the Bill but the witnesses have not done that. Mr. Grace has alluded to the fact that there is something in the Minister's mind. That does not deal with the fact that we have a good Bill in front of us. We may have a second good Bill from our colleagues. We should be working on that, which is what we are trying to do, and moving it forward but rather than analyse the Bill, the witnesses have come up with a type of sceptical essay. Approximately ten minutes ago, Mr. Grace said: "I am not commenting on whether paying above the market price is good, bad or indifferent". Does he think paying above the market price is good, bad or indifferent?
