I would like to go back to Dr. O'Keeffe on the process by which the agency advises Departments on how to prevent the recurrence of incidents. In my time on the committee, I have struggled with the legal difference between "shall" and "may" because I am not a lawyer, it is not my background. It is in the legislation that the State Claims Agency shall or may advise. Will Dr. O'Keeffe comment on that?
