If the Senate is agreeable I would like to ask a series of questions of the minister, which I hope I can do expediently, to get some issues on the record—issues that I think the minister is pretty aware I have some concerns about and would like a better understanding of—and then I'll move my amendment. I think that will probably be the quickest way. I don't want to hold up the place—I'm aware that there's a lot to get through today—but I do think this is an important matter, and there are a number of points that I'd like to make sure we address.

I want to ask a couple of questions about complaints. Through you, Chair, I ask the minister: what work is the government doing to reduce legislative barriers that prevent the publication of complaints and their resolutions?
