Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just on the comment that we don't know what the problems are, as usual we need to get behind the scenes and behind all the arguments to find out substantiation, so mediation is a good process normally. We feel that this is the first step that needs to be taken. Perhaps it may be the only step, but certainly we need to know what is causing this rift between the two parties that they can't resolve together. As I say, we use this process for all our school children in our schools, to come together, be collaborative and resolve problems, Mr. Speaker. If we can't do that, you know, we seem to rely on legal processes and determination that outside bodies have to resolve this. I am an outside body, but they're also elected bodies, Mr. Speaker, and they have a responsibility to try and resolve this amongst each other. I think that's my recourse to it, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
