It needs to be included because this sets a distinct six month timeframe within which it would be produced and brought before the House. We cannot allow this to drag on. Unfortunately, that appears to be the modus operandi of the Department. This was committed to and was supposed to be published in the second quarter of 2016. That date was missed and in the meantime youth homelessness and poverty is increasing. The impact of these discriminatory cuts is devastating. Six months will tie the hands of the Department and ensure that this report is commissioned, carried out, produced and brought before the House.
