—before the courts. So, it's inaccurate to say that she is part of something that is before the courts. There is a class action talked about in and around this issue that we are dealing with, but it has not been certified and accepted that it is going to be heard as of yet. So, at the moment there is no class action suit out there and there is nothing before the courts that is involving Ms. Carle.
What I'd like to ask, for this issue and for the benefit of all of the committee, is could we get a legal opinion on this issue as to whether there is or isn't—because to my knowledge there is nothing so far before the courts. Could we get from our own staff a legal opinion on who can come before committee and so on? I think it would be helpful for everybody to understand the issue better.
More importantly, is there a particular reason that Ms. Carle could not come before the committee, that we didn't need to have that motion because she doesn't have anything before the courts at this particular time? Could we get a decision, some information back for the use of the committee? Then we can look at that again if we get the appropriate legal advice.
