I will do my best for the Senators. Section 64(4) provides for the committee to take advice from experts when reaching a decision. I am sorry Senator McCarthy feels as he does about this issue. I have taken on board the Senators' proposal on three members. I was advised that it was not possible on the maximum number. This permutation was, therefore, introduced to address the issues raised on Second Stage.
