Yes, but I want to look at the past for a moment. Mr. Conlan must bear with me for a moment. This is our job. As I asked, did the Government, in the person of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, present Mr. Conlan with a list of potential positions it would like to have created? Was that the process, or did the Department go to the Minister and say it would be important for the Government to appoint envoys in this area? How did that occur?
