I refer you, sir, to article 2001 of the FTA itself, which sets out what the joint commission is, what it does, what it must do, and what it may do. In the interest of time, I don't propose to read through the different paragraphs of the article, but I think the answer is there as to what the roles and responsibilities of the commission are.
