By virtue of the number of groups and individuals I had hoped to hear from, it seemed that four was rather a minimum. I'm concern that if we just leave it open--as “some”--we may end up with none, because there'll always be something coming up, some objection that gets in the way. For example, we wanted to hear from government witnesses last week, on Tuesday. A vote came up, there were problems, and consequently we didn't hear from them. I don't know when we will hear from them, and I think it's an opportunity lost.
So I have some concerns about leaving it open-ended. I can foresee this being an opportunity lost, when it is an issue that is front and centre with so many of the women's groups we represent as a committee.
