Tardiness report for Legislative Committee meetings

Citizen's Congress Watch, a civic organization which seeks to monitor the Legislative Yuan and increase its transparency (taping all Committee meetings, opening up the meetings to outside observers, etc).

They've recently released a report on how punctual the new legislature is for their committee meetings, and let's just say not everyone gets out of bed early enough:

目前立法院八個委員會中，立委遲到因而使得會議延誤開始最嚴重的是交通委員會，平均延宕28分鐘，也就是大約到9點半才開會，其次是衛環及外交國防委員會，分別平均延誤9.25分鐘和8分鐘。

Currently the legislature has eight committees, and the most habitually late starter is the Traffic Committee, which starts an average of 28 minutes late (or about 9:30 am). Tied for second-worst are the Health and Environment Committee and the Foreign Affairs Committee, with start an average of 9.25 minutes and eight minutes respectively.

Update: The legislators also hold committee meetings for an average of just 3.1 hours, or just until lunch, and then spend the afternoon ... not working.
