This is important for the public, in fairness. If, for example, the assessment from the individual who is conducting this investigation is that it could take eight years, which is not hypothetical because it has been in the media, what does the Department do when it discovers that? Does it have input? Does Mr. Watt give his opinion and tell his Minister we have a problem here? Does he say to the Minister we need to correct it and put a cap on it? Does he just ignore it and leave it go?
