The committee is willing to dialogue. I say that lightly and also unlightly to cover myself. I thank our three guests. We have really opened the whole discussion in a very dynamic way today. I thank Dr. Mulligan, Dr. Hickey and Dr. Casey for the intellectual rigour that all three statements have brought. I accept the bona fides of the intellectual rigour of all three.
Dr. Hickey spoke of very conservative or liberal lines. Does he think this is a conservative and liberal discussion?
