My attachment to the institution of Parliament is so strong that I share your despair. In my opinion, the institution that is Parliament deserves at least a real response. I think there's something a bit cavalier about this response. It sort of says that it's their Act, they're going to consult, things will get done eventually and the nature of the Commissioner's role must not be changed. I find that in terms of substance, there's not much to it.
