I believe there are still a few minutes left in the Social Services portfolio, so I want to again, for the third time, ask the minister to address my question about the $12 million allocation back in September 2015 in relation to innovative technologies to keep women safe, which we asked about in October 2016. By that time, only 1½ per cent had actually been spent.

I would also like to add another question to the minister: of the $20 million announced in October 2016 for the prevention and early intervention programs to break the cycle of domestic and family violence, how much of that allocation has been spent? Could the minister also answer the questions that the member for Jagajaga has asked in respect of the age pension and retirement age?
