We do not want to give the TAC only what is required from now until Christmas. My main criticism is that, given the importance of the issue, the new system established has not been on the scale required to allow it to be up and running. It seems the approach has been one of allowing the Department to work it out in that it will provide two commissioners and four staff and then increase staffing little by little. This was all foreseeable.
