Bill has taken the words right out of my mouth. That is exactly what I meant to say. We're discussing having members eventually attend a conference when no one here has seen the agenda. If we want to do our work properly, we need to see the agenda. I don't think that having Mr. Szabo consult his BlackBerry to read us the agenda qualifies. Other committee members do not have access to that information. I think we need to have some background information in order to make an enlightened decision as to whether we should or should not attend. All committee members are capable of exercising their good judgment and deciding whether the committee needs to attend. We are discussing the possibility of attending a meeting at some point in the future when we do not even know what the ramifications are. If you could get that information to all committee members, we could then bring the issue back on the table and see whether it would be appropriate to send someone or to have all members attend. That will become clear to us in due time.
