My position on that question is to say "Yes, absolutely"; we can write to the Minister and make a case if that is agreed. The witnesses, I suggest, could make a submission on the types of financial supports that might work for their sector and their members.

If Mr. Desmond wanted to the write to the committee with that submission, that would be able to inform a fuller discussion. I am sure it is something that we as a committee could meet in private about and discuss. I imagine we would be happy to consider. Without agreeing to anything here, if you wanted to make that submission it would definitely be heard. That is a good suggestion for a future meeting. We will meet in private session next week and I will be sure to raise that issue and see how members feel. Is that okay?
