Mr. Morgan, as I hear you explain the job description you've been given by the Prime Minister, who appointed you outside of this process, you are going to examine all the potential candidates for any appointment, judge them on meritocracy, and submit the list to the Prime Minister for his political consideration. Then you are going to re-examine the decision he makes on the basis of the criteria that you've just laid out for this committee. Is that what you think you're going to be doing?
