All of a sudden, I have seen a clear blue light for the simple reason that we take a bottom-up approach. We meet every single week and we meet stakeholders who come before us. We are meeting stakeholders with regard to primary care, recruitment and retention and funding. To be fair to the Chairman and the clerk, every week, groups of people appear before us and we sit for two or three hours. The oversight group is putting structures in place. This is where I am somewhat disappointed. I thought the committee would be given feedback from the work the oversight group was doing every month so that we could hook on to its framework from the stakeholders that were appearing before us. Was the request that this group would give us a monthly report not one of our asks last November?
