I respect the sincerity with which Senator Waters has raised her concerns. My wish is that we don't wait until election day to get people enrolled, that the changes that we've made—which, I'm told, will result in significant additional enrolments between now and the election—will work today, tomorrow, next week and next month. We will get those people on the roll so that we're not relying on the very last day to get them on the roll. In any event, as Senator Hume's pointed out, this should be a matter that is discussed at JSCEM, and I'm very happy to engage in that discussion.
