There are other groups who would feel like you also. Have you formed a lobbying group? Perhaps we can assist in that, in the context of the shared island as my colleague has suggested, or by supporting this and drawing attention to the inequalities, especially when one is looking at programmes and the matrix is militating against your good work. This committee would be happy to help out in that regard if we can. Perhaps the witnesses will, through the clerk, give the committee a note. We will have a look at this and see if we can help in any way. It is not good enough that the representatives here today would feel that and say it here. It is our job to make sure that we listen to you.
