Mr. Michael Kingston:

I do not know, but what I heard the Minister say regarding the new regime is that the budget will be made available. It needs to be a substantial and flexible budget that is fit for purpose with at least three investigators and assistants.

On the current regime, Captain Clinch recommended that the Minister use his power, which is what we recommended back in 2021 under section 16 of the current Act, to appoint a chief inspector to assist the current board. I do not know how much has been spent on that. I note he has said a surveyor, Keith Patterson, has been appointed, and we thank Keith Patterson for his work. Whether he is at the level of a chief inspector, I am not entirely sure, so I do not know how much is currently being spent or what provisions have been made available to ensure that, as we speak, during this transition period, we are carrying out our investigations correctly. We need confirmation from the Department that Captain Clinch's recommendation for the interim period, that a chief inspector assist the board, has in fact been put in place.
