I am asking whether we can be inclusive in a different and better way. It would be a pity if, after investing a lot of time in this process, some group complains it never had the chance to express their points of view. Allowing the collective body to appear at only one session in the middle of our investigation to present its views might mean that those affected by our hearings will ask at the end when are they going to be given an opportunity to contribute. Perhaps we might consider including representatives of the unions in each of our sessions in order that they can make their case and we can ask them questions.
