Yes. I am not being critical. I am trying to give an overview. Does Mr. Trethowan have a view about extending the office's powers? Should its regulatory function be strengthened and given mandatory powers? Obviously the committee seems to agree that the powers of the office could be improved, that it should have more discretion and that its hand should be strengthened. Can he briefly tell us his views on that?
