As part of at least one, if not a number, of the agreements that were entered into before parliament resumed, a proper study of the resourcing of the Library and of the committee system was agreed to. Those matters are in hand. It is true that, because of the state of the numbers in the House, with regard to a number of things that the House does it is stretching the resources. Preliminary bids have been made about that additional resourcing. Both the President and I are keeping an eye on this. But the final answer about the Library is that, because of the agreement and a proper study of resourcing, that will be done.
