I welcome our guests and thank them for an extremely informative presentation. I would like to say that, in my view, there was certainly nothing tendentious about their presentation, and would that more had been like them in recent weeks in coming before the committee and laying out the facts very clearly according to Ms Donlon's experience and remit. I would like to ask about that remit, however. I understand that Ms Donlon's brief here is to explain what she does in the light of the mandate she has, not to advocate for policy, legislative or constitutional change. Where are the terms "non-directive" and "non-judgmental" defined?
