I thank the officials for the presentation, for the work they are doing and for being with us. A huge amount of work is going on. I read the material the Department sent us, which is quite comprehensive. There is a certain amount of déjà vu about this. In the previous NTRIS, there was a review and recommendations for a Traveller education strategy to be reviewed by the Department, with the review to be published in early 2017. Can the officials tell me what happened to that? It seems this has happened already. There was a strategy in the past and a review was to be published in early 2017, according to the previous NTRIS. Was that shelved? Did anything come of it?
