I propose to take Questions Nos. 34, 40 and 62 together.

The consumer strategy group was established in March 2004 to advise and make recommendations on the development of a national consumer strategy. I have not yet received the group's final report. However, I do expect the group to present its report very shortly and that the report will be published shortly thereafter. I intend to fully consider whatever recommendations may be contained in the report as promptly as possible.
