I thank the witnesses for the presentation. I was listening to the conversation. There are two or three areas I am particularly interested to ask about. I recognise that every kind of project will be different, whether housing, a road project, a hospital or whatever. Given that the number of approval stages is being changed, is there any indication of the time savings that will be made with those even if they are to be broken into larger, middle size or smaller projects? Is there any indication of the kind of time saving?

The Department is doing a smaller number of stages, but will it spend longer on those with less of a benefit in time savings on them? Has the Department looked at that or carried out any assessment of it? Is there any indication of the time that would be saved with those changes on the different projects?
