I can see both sides here. I thank the committee for hearing me out. I understand the issue about duplication. If the suggestion is that the secretariat writes to the Sub-Committee on Mental Health, the health committee and others, and asks where the issue is at or if those other committees are finished considering the issue, at least then we will know what action to take. I am happy enough with that. It is a commonsense approach and a way of meeting in the middle. No one is being ostracised at the same time. I would ask for a bit of urgency because there is anxiety. An issue like this will affect people. I urge urgency.
