I want to focus on the action plan and on the forecasting and modelling that Deputy Moynihan talked about. I wish to look at the granular detail of the numbers. Before I do so, I want to support what Deputy Currie said. The absence of progress on limiting the reliance on multiple learner permits, a key objective of the 2013-20 strategic plan, is unacceptable. Can any data be provided today in respect of learner drivers involved in fatal collisions? I have a lot of that data in front of me. What percentage of those learner drivers were on licences of more than three years? If that data cannot be provided today, I ask that the witnesses follow up with it.

I am going to ask some questions on contingency as well. The Minister spoke in the Chamber on 14 May about discussions with the RSA on contingency measures that could be put in place if the plan was not going according to plan. The witnesses have outlined some of the contingency measures which are there. They can be implemented in terms of the targets not being met. With regard to the action plan, how confident are each of the witnesses of achieving the ten-week waiting time by September? Are they very confident, confident, hopeful, or sceptical?
