I thank the Secretary General. As our time is limited, I ask members to confine their remarks, where possible, to questions. There has been significant public and media commentary on this issue over the last couple of months. Many issues are not in dispute. We have a report from the Secretary General that has established the facts. We are dealing with facts rather than speculation. Therefore, I ask members to confine their remarks and questions to the Secretary General and the Minister, both of whom offered to come here this afternoon for the purposes of concluding all debate on this issue and drawing a line under it.
