Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for coming this afternoon.
I want to separate this thing. I want to go right back to basics again. As you know, the members opposite brought forward a motion a few weeks ago that would impose a six-month moratorium on the application of the policy direction. We're talking about the policy direction at this point.
Considering the minister brought forward this proposal in June and there was ample time for reflection from the industry and then you responded to that, I have to ask you a really basic question. Do you think--and we're talking now about the policy direction--would it have been prudent, would it have been constructive, to wait another six months for that direction to come into force?
