That is where I wanted to go on that.

It is obvious that there will be some form of mass actions, multi-party actions or whatever regarding the commission's findings. That brings me to my second topic. I have a genuine concern but in a positive way. I admire and know the work that is necessary in terms of what the commission does. However, in terms of the scale of its work into the future, and my third point will elevate what I am saying, a range of actions will be requested of the commission as a result of this finding. While the commission's resources have increased over the years, will this be a issue? As an outcome of all of this, that could be a positive development which may help the commission. Will it be an issue in the year ahead?
