Professor Brian MacCraith:

We commenced our engagement with stakeholders last August and September, having spent several months getting our terms of reference in order and so on. Since then, we have met PDFORRA once and RACO once. However, we made it very clear to both representative bodies that we believe they play a critical role in the transformation process and that we want to engage with them regularly. In fact, invitations will be issued later this week inviting them to our next in-person meeting, which will be next month. Both representative associations are clear on how important they will be to the transformation process we are engaged in.
