I cannot give that commitment right now but we can certainly discuss it at our next private meeting. This meeting was a priority decided on by members. I think the best way of moving the issue forward is that when we get in the Minister and the departmental officials, we will start asking them questions about it and put on record that we have concerns about it. We will produce a report on foot of this meeting but we will need to follow it up actively, both as individuals and as a committee. If members consider it necessary to follow up on the framework, we can do that. I urge the witnesses at some stage to talk to members and party spokespersons about the issue and make an application for funding. They will not get it unless they ask for it.
