Mr Speaker, I should point out a typing error in the report which we failed to pick up at the time of editing. This typo, unfortunately, quite significantly changes the meaning of one of the recommendations regarding community consultation. I will read out the recommendation. It says:

The Committee wishes to compliment the work being done by government in this area.

Maybe we will wish to do that in the near future or the distant future, but at this point the word should have been “complement”, not “compliment”. I am pleased to inform the Assembly that some cutting and pasting has rectified this error.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
