I know, that is why I commissioned the study. We had taken a number of other measures and the next logical step was to review this particular area. The study has commenced. I understand that a procurement process was launched to seek the services of external consultants. To expedite delivery of the study, these consultants will supplement the CCPCs in-house expertise. The CCPC has advised that the study is a priority and that it will be concluded as soon as practicable. The CCPC is an independent body, but I have made it aware that my Department is available to support it to complete the study as soon as possible.
