I will try to keep this as quick as possible. Obviously, we can see that we are starting from a bad place in terms of where relationships are and I am not going to get into the ins and outs of all of those legacy issues that our witnesses have argued over and back. We now have the changed operating procedures.

Mr. Murray spoke about a nomination procedure where he believes that the HR and industrial relations, IR, issues have been dealt with to some degree. There is probably an element of not only a need to interact with the 900 volunteers, more so than we might have had to do if we had not gone through the period which we just have, but how does CUAG propose to do that? What sort of outreach are we looking at?

Then, on representation, this is about ensuring that there is a sufficient amount of representation where people are adequately happy, given that we are not starting from the point at which we would like to be.
