I have just come from a meeting in the Department with the Minister, Deputy Harris, and departmental officials. There are details that have to be ironed out before it is brought in. I assure the Senator that January to early February will be the timeframe. If possible, it will be implemented by the end of January and if not, then the beginning of February. That is what came from the meeting this morning and I have nothing else to add on that.
