There are two substantive questions. I think Senator Evans was concerned about the delay in reaching a decision. My understanding is that these matters have been under consideration for a significant period of time, as the government was looking for a way to move forward on this matter. Until that was resolved, it was seen to be not appropriate to make a final decision. That was the thinking. I judge from Senator Evans’s expression that he is not entirely happy with that explanation.
