As we have a quorum, we will commence the meeting in public session. You are all welcome to this meeting of the Joint Committee on Employment Affairs and Social Protection. Before I begin, I would remind members to please turn off their mobile phones. I propose that we go into private session to deal with some housekeeping matters before returning to public session. Is that agreed? Agreed.
