I was keen to come back in because Deputy Brian Stanley seemed to be very upset about the intervention I had made at the start of the meeting. It is important to work out in a short timeframe what we are doing and what questions we need to ask. The point I was making was that this was one of the most useful facilities we had because it allowed us to access information and opened up the process of drafting the new national energy and climate plan. It was in that context that I raised the failure to obtain any of the reports we had requested from the Minister. The Secretary General said he did not even know that we had submitted a request in advance of the meeting for a list of the new actions being considered for inclusion in the national energy and climate plan. That is the interesting stuff. I do not know how our request did not get to him. We would be far better off if we could discuss those measures.

As I understand this has to be done by Christmas, I would like to ask some questions. First, what level does Mr. Doyle think transport emissions will have reached in 2030?
