I thank the witnesses for attending and for being forthright in their answers. Much of the discussion has been about the inclusion of services and the potential for including services in the final Bill. From a personal point of view, I sincerely hope we can find a way to include services, but we are on a tight timeline. The answer given regarding the Attorney General providing an opinion does not seem in any way to tie in to a tight timeline. I sense that the answer given was he will be back to us when he is back to us, but if we are to try to do this in this parliamentary session, that will not work. There must be some communication between the Department and the Attorney General, at least regarding timing around outcomes.
