Thank you very much.
Witnesses, I want to reference the word “pursuant” under subsection 62(1). We've all quoted this, “The exercise of powers and the performance of duties and functions pursuant to a declaration”, and it suggests a period of time from the declaration going forward during the period of time at which the Emergencies Act was invoked, again understanding that there may be questions that require some investigation in circumstances before that date in the nature of asking how.
Would you agree that it would be important for this committee to adopt terms of reference that made very clear how we were exercising the scope of our work, so that we didn't run into the debate that we're having now on a regular basis with individual witnesses, or indeed the work plan of the committee?
