Apologies for keeping everyone for so long during the adjournment. I thank the witnesses for coming back.

The final few minutes of the meeting will discuss the plans for restructuring and reform. The 2013 LRC report set out a number of steps that need to be taken and the 2016 report had recommendations for what needs to be done. The LRC report looks at setting up a museum council and a communication forum, recommends that the existing management committee be replaced by a management advisory committee, and that an implementation officer be appointed.

Could the witnesses tell the committee what progress has been made on those recommendations?
