I know, but I am taking the decision as Chairman of the committee and I am going to stay on course regarding what we are here to discuss. As I have said, Deputy Funchion has volunteered her services as rapporteur to produce a report on the issue. The committee is interested in the issue and my chairing today does not take from that in any way, shape or form. We are operating to a time limit and we must stay on course to discuss the topic before us, which is the early affordable child care scheme, as published. If we allow issues regarding pay and conditions and workers, it will do a disservice to the session I am chairing. I ask witnesses and members to respect it as we proceed. Is that okay, Ms Quinn?
