The question regarding the timeliness of the release of the report goes to how long the consultation would be. It is likely that a consultation would take more than a year. Therefore, the report could be released before the consultation was completed. There is another scenario in which the consultation would take only three months. Therefore, the report would be released approximately three to six months after the consultation ended.
My perspective of that would be that generally, information would be made available as soon as reasonably and operationally possible. Therefore, from a legislative perspective, there are pros and cons to having that timeline. This would be my opinion and advice at this point.
