Madam Deputy Speaker Bird, I hope the member for Lyons can prevail upon his colleagues to see this does not happen because I am sure he knows, as I do, that it is the best money the Commonwealth spends.

As with other primary industry R&D corporations, and as I said, AECL took a methodical and systematic approach to the valuation of the impact of R&D investments to assist consideration of an increase in the levy by the egg industry. They developed a compelling business case that includes an independent cost-benefit analysis, and that analysis provides strong support for increasing the levy. Thank you.
