I accept that fair procedure must be followed but our difficulty is that fair procedure is also required for the terms of reference that are being decided today. The timing is critically important if those terms of reference are to be right. I have a real issue with fair procedure and getting the terms of reference right from the perspective of the people who will be subject to this commission of inquiry. This information is quite critical in getting the information right. Squaring that circle is very difficult.
