That is a good idea and I welcome the offer from an Opposition party to work together on this on a collaborative basis because none of us wants to see the rise of racism in our society and none of us wants to see far-right groups or political forces taking hold in our Parliament in the way that has become the norm across the European Union. A lot of work is being done on the new national ant-racism strategy and that should be ready in the near future. On the particular issue of an additional committee, that is something the Business Committee could consider. I know there are a lot of committees already and there is difficulty filling spots on some committees so we would need to take that into account as well.
