I thank the witnesses for attending here today. My colleague beside me mentioned the value of the secretaries and caretakers. I grew up in a time when you knew your secretary in the school and the caretaker. Sometimes there was a fear element in relation to the teachers but there were constants who you could rely on. That was the secretaries and it probably still is. Therefore, as my colleagues have said here today, Fórsa is pushing an open door. I believe it has unanimous support from the committee on this issue.

Has Fórsa done up a costing on this? Is there a specific request on this and can we get details on it?
