The Mortgage Expert Group submitted its Interim Report to me in early July. The Government accepted all of the recommendations. I understand that good progress has been made in regard to the implementation of the recommendations. Since July, the Expert Group has been working on its Final Report. They have been considering a number of very complex and sensitive issues which has necessitated extensive consultation with various stakeholders. I understand that the Group's will finalize their Report in the coming days and I expect receive it very shortly.
