Ms Dee Ryan:

I thank the members of the committee. That was an engaging session. I am pleased that the four contributors are almost united in our perspective on what is in front of the committee. I will come away from this session with the sense that the committee more than understands this and that it is matching our ambition as to what the possibilities and opportunities are for this important local government reform. I wish the committee well in its work and point it back to the implementation advisory group recommendations, which I hope will be of support to it in the work ahead.
