I thank the officials for their presentations and for answering the questions but I want to make a specific point on the Millar report. I note the comments made, but the officials effectively rubbished the report when they said it had not carried out the work it was supposed to carry out, and that they would have counter views on the many issues highlighted in the report about which serious concerns have been raised. It would be very useful if they would put those counter views in a report which could be brought before this committee. That would inform us of their views on the very serious points identified by Millar in the report. Can we get a comprehensive response from the Department with regard to the Millar report?
