I thank the Minister. Having read the opening statement, we can see the Minister has comprehensively addressed the issues. I welcome the level of interest she has shown in this issue, which has been of concern to the committee. The fact that she met with Fair Plé and the other groups is very positive. We have had quite a number of witnesses before the committee who have expressed concern and, obviously, some of them have been particularly brave in coming forward to express their point of view. It is essential, whatever the environment in the arts, in music and in the other areas under the Minister's remit, that everybody feels the environment is safe. Although the education system is not entirely the Minister's brief, a lot of work is being done in that area. Is there any more that can be done within that space?
