Thank you. I appreciate that.

On behalf of the committee, I thank all the witnesses for their presentations and how they dealt so comprehensively with all the questions. On behalf of the committee, I express my appreciate to quite a number of individuals from around the country who contacted me and a number of my colleagues with huge concerns that we have addressed today. I appreciate the witnesses appearing before us and the reassurances they provided to us. I sincerely hope that the internal and the external investigations of the organisation will result in sufficient assurances being provided to the Minister so that funding can be restored. Nobody present has any interest in seeing an organisation of such importance nationally suffer as a result of the decision with which we collectively agree, or with which I certainly. I sincerely hope funding can be restored as soon as is appropriate.
