By way of explanation, despite the fact that we've lost the fight for the elected chair, we do think that nonetheless the relationship between the committee and the minister and Prime Minster, depending what the case may be, is important. We feel it's a good way of building trust with the committee and with the public having that kind of consultation. It doesn't behold the minister to anything; it's just to keep that dialogue going.
