While I welcome the statement to be made by the Department each year, it will not be enough for individuals with unmet needs. It will not be of much consolation for people to see themselves included in a category of persons with unmet needs if there is no indication as to when their individual needs will be met. It is this state of affairs that Senator Terry and I have tried to address in amendments Nos. 8, 9, 13 and 15.
