It is good news that a special committee is being set up to consider the recommendations of the Citizens' Assembly on Drugs Use. That is a good development about which I have a number of questions. First, when will that committee commence and, second, how long will it go on for? If it goes on for a protracted period, it could run into the next general election and then nothing will happen. I hope the special committee will be short-lived, running for only three or four months. That would at least give the Government some time to consider its recommendations and any possible legislative changes based on those recommendations.
