Interests

The Convener (Donald Gorrie):

We have had indications that a couple of members will be a couple of minutes late, but we will just start.

My first task, which is a pleasant one, is to welcome Kate Maclean. I have never had the privilege and pleasure of being on the same committee as her before, so it will be a learning experience for us both. However, I have a high regard for her talents. I invite her to declare any interests that she has in the committee's work.

I do not have any interests to declare.

My next task, which is sadder, is to thank Cathie Craigie for her work on the committee. She was a member of the committee from the beginning of the parliamentary session, so I thank her for her contribution to its work.
