I agree with Senator Mullen on his final point about wastewater. I concur with his statement on the infrastructure being provided by the Government to upgrade the water system. Long may it continue.

I raise the issue of training centres and apprentices schemes through training centres. I believe there is a backlog in quite a number of these schemes due to the non-availability or a shortage of teachers. While I intend to submit a Commencement matter on this issue, I also ask the Leader to inquire about the numbers of trainees who are waiting to avail of some of these schemes. If she could find out where the backlog is, we could see if we could work on some of these areas. I would appreciate that.
