Our Department is reviewing some of the protected disclosures and, as I said, IFI is reviewing others. They each have been headed up to manage that and our Department has mechanisms for doing that. We have direct responsibility and will conclude that work.

With respect to governance, we also have a role. If Mr. Barry or Mr. Neely come back to me, having conducted that report and see that changes or other mechanisms need to be looked at again, we would have a role there to ensure that the resources, in whatever form, statutory, financial or others, and the organisation are in place to accept any recommendations or to take actions coming out of that. The Department and I have a role but primarily it is for Mr. Barry and Mr. Neely to fulfil the statutory functions and to deliver on those two priorities as well.
