It is helpful for us to understand that.
We have only about 25 minutes left and a lot of questions to get through. I ask members and witnesses to be succinct. There are still many areas that we would like to touch on. Miles Briggs, Emma Roddick and Foysol Choudhury all have questions about no recourse to public funds.

Good morning and welcome to the seventh meeting in 2022 of the Social Justice and Social Security Committee. Our first item of business is a decision on whether to take items 3, 4 and 5 in private. Do we agree to take those items in private?
Members indicated agreement.

There are a lot of questions in there. I remind panel members that you can submit stuff in writing, so please try to keep your answers as brief as possible.
