I do not mean this to be disrespectful in any way, shape or form, and I am just trying to understand the issue, but what does it mean when a representative of a Department says that the Department has been looking at something for three years? I have asked previously for details of the occasions this matter has come up and been discussed and how it has been further advanced in the past three years, but I have got nothing in response. I am left in a vacuum, thinking this report is sitting on a shelf somewhere. What does it mean that the Department is looking at it?
