I am indebted to Senator Pat O'Neill and the Minister for what they have said. If we can think of any more ideas to bring forward next week, we will be delighted to do so, within the constraints imposed by the Joint Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis. A thought I had regarding the Minister's second response was that engineering expertise was needed. Is it available in the administration grades in the two Departments the Minister mentioned? It might be something the NRA has, as it is engaged in road design and an expert on the types of vehicle which break up roads, adding to the administrative burden. I will certainly do more thinking in the interim and thank all officers of the House. We will conduct some research during the week to see what we can come back with. I thank the Minister, the officials, Senator Pat O'Neill and the Acting Chairman.
