That sounds very encouraging. I am mindful that the commission represents a group of experts in their field. It no secret that during the negotiations there some issues that the coalition could not reach consensus on, including for the Green Party, a site value tax and a wealth tax. That is, in part, the reason the commission was established and tasked with discussion of those issues. In terms of the process, how easy is it for the commission, as experts, to bring forth particular issues? Are all of the points of debate or the issues with which the commission will be dealing coming from the public consultation, the terms of reference as set out by the Government or is the commission easily able to table issues that it believes are important?
