I would like to move on to the extension of the provision of medical cards to terminally ill patients. I asked the clerk and the committee to write to the Minister regarding the publication of the clinical advisory group report. I understand that the Minister did have a meeting with some campaigners on this issue, and I welcome that. We all want to see progress, but we also need to see the report. I am sure that if the Minister was sitting where I am, and he knew that the report had been sitting on the Minister's desk for some time, he would want to see it. As the clerk and the chair of committee wrote to him asking for that report, he can appreciate that we want to see it, for good reason, because we want to see what is in it. It is a report that was written to advise, so can the Minister inform the committee of when that report will be made public, or when the committee can be given a copy of the report?
