I ask that when we have the ombudsman before the committee in the future, we try to do it mid-term rather than coming up to the end of the year. There is so much going on in the Houses right now, with legislation being rushed through, last-minute meetings and all that sort of stuff as we come to the recess. It is a bit unfair on the witnesses to have such a small turnout. Ordinarily, we would have a lot more people.
