Legacy Paper
Before we conclude the public part of our meeting, we will discuss our legacy paper on matters that the new committee might investigate. We must also consider reports on food supplements and on our employment inquiry.The legacy paper will be published following our discussions. I invite members of the committee to comment on the paper in general, without going into detail. We had a discussion about the committee's work load and agreed that we wanted to make public some of the issues that the new committee might discuss. We will do that when we publish the legacy paper, but if members want to record any comments at this point, they may do so.
