I thank Mr. Robin Yassin-Kassab. There are one or two items of correction. The Government does not decide who comes before the committee. The committee itself decides. We facilitate groups which request an opportunity to make a presentation to the committee. We give groups opportunities to come and make a presentation and to question them. The presence of any group or individual does not mean that the committee concurs with the views of those making the presentations.
