To answer Senator Boyhan directly, I expect the review to commence this year. As he rightly said, regardless of electoral cycles or when the election happens, the preparatory work has commenced. My officials have been meeting with officials in the OPR already. The information gathering piece is there. It is important that it is done. The office has been in place for five years or thereabouts. It is important that is done. It will inform how we move forward. That will commence this side of the new year. The recommendations that flow from that will certainly be very informative.
