I would like to give the Senator the clarity on specific dates and timelines that he seeks. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to do so today. I know about this area of work. The Senator has raised this issue before; he has been very good at raising it and pressing for action. I will take his raising of it again very much as a spur to engage in further action and specifically to try to establish for him as soon as I can what the timelines are likely to be. There are pressures and resource issues in the Department. The Senator's point on the importance of having this office established is very well made.

I will take it very much on board.
