I am very glad that Mr. Martin has offered that suggestion because my next point was on banking services. While I might not like to let banks off the hook, the fact is that we are dealing with the reality that they have left and are leaving a significant number of even sizeable rural towns.

The post office, as Mr. Martin said, is trusted, is there and has the capacity, so it makes complete sense. It may be a solution at both ends, for want of a better phrase, and something we probably need to do a piece of work on. I thank him for that. We had heard constantly everything was going to come from this interdepartmental review process. Is that now imminent?
