What I will do is to contact the Executive and the Executive will give me an answer. If I feel, in my opinion, that the answer meets the threshold to be presented to Parliament, I will do that. But, if the hon. Member is saying that he has issues with the Committee, then I think it is fair that the Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government is ...

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I just wanted to say that this is a very important subject under discussion here today. Last week, hon.
