I will not have any more discussion on the matter. I have asked the proposer of the motion to postpone the debate for one week. That is not too much of a delay and it would allow time for a more comprehensive response to come from the Department. I am not happy with the Department's reply. Senator Daly should please listen to me. As Chairman, I have not received a comprehensive briefing either. All members are entitled to a comprehensive briefing. Senator Daly said he was not happy with the reply. Neither is Deputy Crowe happy with the reply. I request that we would postpone the debate for an extra week to get a more comprehensive reply from the Department. We will put the motion on the agenda of next week's meeting and we will vote on it.
