I have a series of matters, and before I deal with those I might add the government's words to your comments about Joanne Towner. We would like to associate ourselves with the words that you stated about Joanne. She will be sorely missed and seems far too young to be retiring. But I am sure she will have a very full and exciting life ahead of her, away from this place. One wonders how she will be able to tear herself away from it, but nevertheless we do associate ourselves with your remarks and wish Joanne the very best in the years ahead.
