No, we're not going to go all night—at least not on this particular bill. On the other bill we'll go all night. There's a stock-standard process here about how you might find the best people who are going to start the job of rebuilding manufacturing in this country—the manufacturing that you let slide over the previous nine years of your government—and we're going to start building things in this country again. When that list of people is submitted to the minister, he will, I imagine, very carefully and very calmly make the selection of the best people to represent all of the skills that are going to be required to get the best value out of this fund. As I say, there's nothing complicated about this. There's nothing unusual about this. This is how boards get selected all the time, whether they're boards that your government established or boards that we've established.
