That gives me some comfort, because we were concerned that the intent here was that this consultation process would be required before each investigation. That would not be appropriate because it would allow a professional body to influence the CEO. So you have allayed my concerns somewhat by saying this would be the beginning of the process. I note that it is only about consulting. They do not have to kick off on the form; they have to be consulted. Is that a correct understanding?
