The Retention of Certain Records Bill in the Minister's Department is concerned with retaining the records of the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse, the Residential Institutions Redress Board and the Residential Institutions Redress Review Committee. The intention in the original legislation was to destroy these records. The legislation received pre-legislative scrutiny well over a year ago. It has been on the priority list since last autumn but has not yet been brought before the House.

I do not understand why that is the case. I ask the Minister to tell the House when it will be published and come before the House.
