Answer
We remain committed to the re-establishment of the Compact Civic Advisory Panel and the convening of at least one Citizen’s Assembly each year. Preparatory work has begun but Covid-19 has unavoidably impacted both on this work due to the necessary diversion of staffing resources and also on the panel’s potential ability to function most effectively due to the current social constraints in which we are operating.
