On that, I know there is a certain diplomacy in terms of what the CCMA can say to us, given that it will be in negotiations with the Department. I will make one general point, however. In the context of pre-legislative scrutiny, our job is to comment on the general scheme. The more clarity the committee has on what those staffing requirements might be, the stronger the recommendations in our pre-legislative report to Government could be. I understand that there is a certain degree of tact that the CCMA has to employ. Even at a later stage as we are progressing pre-legislative scrutiny, if the CCMA was in a position to say to our committee what that could look like, that could form a part of our report and be of assistance to the CCMA in its engagement with the Department after the passing of the eventual Bill, if such a thing happens. That is an invitation.
