I thank the Chair. On a point of clarification, we sought Eir's attendance at the committee. The secretariat issued an invitation and afforded Eir an opportunity to come and discuss matters that are important and relevant to the commissioner being here. I note from correspondence that it has refused to attend. I have been on this committee for some time and we have had Eir here a number of times, usually in connection with the company's failure to perform to the standard required of it. We have had it here in the past to discuss its customer service failures. There is a matter being prosecuted in the courts. I will be brief.
