I was asked in November to bring recommendations to the Government in a timely fashion. I would like to see proposals brought to the Cabinet in the next few weeks. We are working on them. Submissions were sought and we are in the process of going through them, but many of the detailed submissions are diametrically opposed. Finding the balance will be critical. This is important work, and I thank the committee members for their initiative in publishing a report a few short weeks ago, which has been very helpful in allowing us to progress to the point at which we can bring grounded proposals to the Government at the earliest opportunity.
