Thank you for letting me speak, Mr. Murphy.

I would like to understand Dr. Bennett's position that here in this committee, we work by consensus and the steering committee sets the work agenda. If I've misunderstood, please explain it to me. The steering committee sets the work agenda and the other members cannot intervene at all to have that agenda changed? Is this in fact what she is saying?

Governing by consensus is rather difficult.
