I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.
Due to the level of detail required, it is not possible to provide an answer in the timeframe available. The honourable member may wish to put this question on notice. The honourable member is asking for information from a range of agencies, ministerial offices and representatives. It is not possible to get an answer in a two-hour block.
