It seems to me that the dynamic of the committee will not change over the coming months. The committee and the secretariat can busy themselves dotting the i's and crossing the t's, but in January, February or March, the numbers will be the same and we would reach the same decision. I do not have a predetermined position on the matter. Would it be better to address the question today and reach a conclusion in light of the split in the committee numbers or should members go off and get busy on this in the knowledge that we will come back and reach the same conclusion?
