Two years ago, this committee was about to not support this motion on this very issue. We are entitled to discuss it. I cannot, in good conscience, support this motion today, and hopefully my colleagues will feel the same, without some assurance that seed funding will be given to this organisation.

It wants to meet every recommendation in this report and to comply with all the corporate management and regulatory requirements of the Department. The association wants to do it but needs financial assistance. It is only fair-----
