I am glad to commit to that as well. I have not read all the submissions but I will do that as part of the process of the report coming to my desk. I always read submissions and I try to ensure we take them all on board inasmuch as we possibly can. There is no reason we cannot have a discussion in the House and at committee level as well to tease through that.

I agree with Deputy Daly. It does not get media coverage often but it is certainly an important area and it is damaging our reputation. It has probably become more of a priority. Given other issues in recent years it probably did not get the priority it needed. I am committing to it now. Given that the review is finished, there is no reason to delay acting in this area.
