I have two minutes left. We are doing work on the constitutional future. We are working on the future of the economic sector at the moment and we will produce an interim report after that. Obviously, equality and human rights forms part of that work. What came across, particularly in our discussions on taxation and welfare, was that it is time that we envisage something different, and something that is underpinned by our values. As the witnesses speak and as I see all of the contributions that the organisations continuously make, which is enormously valuable work, it crosses my mind that we know for certain that the British Government is determined to override people's rights. We know the international consequences of that, as well as the consequences for victims and families of victims. We have not had the bill of rights or the all-island charter of rights. Do we need to take all of work done by organisations represented here and that set out by academics as to what such a bill or charter of rights would look like in terms of having rights that are underpinned by particular values across the country in order to get a grip on it ourselves? We could be forever and a day knocking on the British Government's door. There has to come a point where we stop flogging the dead horse, respond to the recklessness and unilateral action, pull all this back and design our own system. That is my main point.
