While I understand the Senator's point, my previous response remains relevant. The register is a register of competence. Where there are issues with regard to a provider who is struck off the register because their work is substandard, the homeowner, in that instance, will be able to lodge a complaint on the building control side and will also have recourse via insurance. Obviously, we are dealing with other significant matters relating to apartment defects, which I intend to bring forward soon, once I receive the report. It is a big issue in our cities predominantly, but not exclusively. We are also advancing the scheme on defective concrete blocks. I intend to have that legislation passed in advance of the summer recess.
