I am trying to understand where we are trying to start a process to appoint a new board. I am conscious that at least in public, there does not seem to have been a resolution of the issues which led to the various differences. I presume that the senior counsel's report is available to Mr. Barry and Mr. Neely. Are Mr. Barry and Mr. Neely charged with the full powers and responsibility, powers and functions which the board would have had? From our committee's perspective, before we throw - and I do not mean this in a pejorative way - more people into a new board, is there an expectation that there will be some outcome or conclusion to the efforts of Mr. Barry and Mr. Neely? Is the Minister expecting a report from them with a set of actions that will have to be taken or is he expecting some deliberations from them which would set the organisation on a course towards a resolution before we appoint a new board?
