I understand where the Senator is coming from in relation to this amendment but I would have concerns that that review has to be sufficient and widespread, and comprehensive. As such, I do not see it being done in a timespan that will allow this scheme to take off. I believe the scheme has to start now.

I have been an advocate of ensuring that the old scheme was never gotten rid of because there are many people in a logjam waiting to get their houses done. They have preparations done and they are ready to start their works. I want to see those works start within weeks. I do not believe the IS 465 review will be done before that. The Minister may inform us otherwise.
