          <by role="member" id="4840">The SPEAKER (17:21):</by>  With all of these sorts of things, obviously I believe it's in everybody's interest to conduct them thoroughly and get them done within the time that was given to us. Obviously, there was a range of factors that was taken into consideration by the investigator, but that was the time line that ultimately resulted. That's the information that I have at the moment, and if further information comes to light about when the inquiry will be finished—if it will be more prompt or take longer—I will obviously endeavour to keep the house up to date.</text>
