Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Obviously there's a lot to deal with and we needed you here for two hours.
I will try to be precise and share with my colleagues, given our limited time to question.
My questions are to do with the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Tribunal. To go straight to the point, based on the speaking notes it was reported in the last year that only half of the money was spent. We have an indication that there are very few cases coming forward, and yet the registry is reporting that they intend to spend all of the money despite there being no clarity on a number of cases.
I have two questions related to that. How can you determine that you will spend all the money when there's no certainty there will be any cases at all? Second, what happens if all of a sudden you finally have a flood of cases?
