This is useful for us. All of the witnesses have raised their points and they are all valid points. They are certainly points of concern. What the witnesses might do is write to the committee. We will have the National Transport Authority before the committee next week to respond to this. If the witnesses were sitting in those seats next week what questions would they ask? I know their issues but what questions do they want us to ask? What are the five, eight, ten or 12 questions they would like to ask? They do not have to tell us now. They can put together their questions on vehicle age, credit cards and licence transfers. Issues have been raised that I was not aware of. We were all familiar with the value of a taxi plate before the regulation. It plummeted and there were various compensation mechanisms. That is 20 years ago at this stage.
