To tease it out a little further, I get the strong impression from Mr. McHugh's response that he sees the CCPC's role as being reactive. There has to be an issue and then the CCPC will analyse it, forensically examine it and decide what action could be taken to reverse it. We are legislators and we are trying to be proactive. Can Mr. McHugh see where the difference in our opinions is, based on the proactive rather than the reactive? Everything he has said shows that the CCPC is a reactive organisation. Something has to have happened and there has to be a problem before the CCPC will set out to address it and take action. Where there might be a difference in our opinions is that we are trying to be proactive. Would Mr. McHugh agree with that analogy?
