Thank you. We will be travelling to a community on Saturday, so I hope I am not in breach of this legislation if I happen to take my computer with me. We would like to comply as soon as possible if that is the case. On page 45, clause 53 exempts the Public Works Committee from examining any work under this legislation for five years. Why is that the case?
