I thank the member for the question.
(1) No, I will
not give an undertaking to do that. If the member requires the report, I will
take advice on whether it is a report that is in a form that is suitable for
tabling and whether it contains any information that may be provided by the
coroner that is appropriate for public dissemination.
(2) If I
choose not to table the report, I will give that advice at the time that I make
that decision. If the member is after some specific information, it would be
helpful if she gave notice of that and asked for it and then I will undertake,
with my best intentions, to provide that data.
