Minister, there's some further information I'd be interested in having, if you are able to provide it. You made a comment in relation to my previous question. Just for the record, I'll restate the previous question. Did the government consider re-establishing a fast-track review process, which is obviously sorely needed, on the basis of the backlog, either in the development of the ART legislation or the bill currently before the Senate? That was the question I asked.

Minister, I respect the answer you gave. You said that you weren't aware of any such matter being considered. Can I ask you, during the course of this committee process, if you can make inquiry through the advisers who are here and the relevant minister as to whether or not there was any such consideration of the implementation of that Fast-Track review process?
