This is not about holding a competition or going after certain parts of the Department. Not all committees are in place to find out what people are hiding or not doing right. It is about trying to facilitate ideas and things that may happen outside the box. We can go on the record here and say that as legislators, if we had been told this, we could actually make provisions within the law and structures to actually help. That is what it is about. People outside could be thinking we are on another witch-hunt. It is not about that. It is about gathering the information. As I always say, it is basically about gathering all the ingredients and baking the right cake. You cannot make an apple tart without apples. It is as simple as that.
