(2) Why? Hon ADELE FARINA
AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)-(2) No. However, we are of the view that the service cannot be successfully fragmented across three operations. If the member is aware of an entity that wishes to be involved in delivering these services, we would be happy to meet with it.
