I only have two and a half minutes and I do not want to be rude to Ms Neary because we have had this back and forth with other officials. We know the Department is supportive and wants to do the right thing but the question is: when are we going to be in a situation where the people who have presented to this committee who want to create complex buildings with lower-carbon, timber-based products will be able to do so? We do not have agrément certs or demonstration projects and we have no clarity in these guidelines that I can see. We have a commitment to do more research. When is that going to change?
