That is interesting. It would have been more beneficial had we had that data. I would be very interested to have information on the people who made submissions and on whether there were conflicts of interest. Clearly, people have interests. We all have interests in certain things, and one must see that in the context of a consultation process. I would respectfully ask that it be communicated to the Department that there was a consultation process and that it is rather strange that it just died a death and there was no follow-up. These are two important issues. We should have had more detail on both as part of our consideration of this matter. I thank Dr. O’Reilly for his engagement.
