I thank the committee for its time. We will work proactively with it and its member to ensure they get those directives at an appropriate time. I always preface that by saying that this is me trying to work with Departments. I do not have the power to demand they do that but we will work hard to ensure they meet those targets. We will also follow up on what the Senator said about Departments. I think it was said there were ten. There are 18 Departments in total so a few of those Departments do not do statutory instruments. We will write to the ones that have not replied and tell them to get on with it.
