Brian Stanley: The reason I am asking is that the committee has to produce a report on today's meeting, as one of the members mentioned earlier. I think it will be one of the better reports. People can feel that witnesses sometimes get a hard time here, but Ms Maney has answered very detailed questions. One of our recommendations might involve making a strong case for extra staff for the commission in...
