The Department has offered to provide that to us in order that we can scrutinise it further during the discussion on equity and fairness. I would ask that not only those on group water schemes but also those with private wells and private water treatment systems are included in that analysis. It is part of the recommended report provided to the committee by the expert commission that we have been tasked with analysing. I accept the Chair's ruling. I believe there is a body of work to be done on analysing equity and fairness in terms of the private wells and the group water schemes, what they cost and how they should be subsidised to ensure that everybody is treated equally.
