I move amendment No. 26:

In page 5, line 28, to delete "endorse" and substitute "give its opinion".

We had an extensive debate on this issue on Committee Stage. The Bill provides that the fiscal council shall endorse as it considers appropriate the macro-economic forecast prepared. Despite that we had a lengthy debate on this issue, none of us was convinced and we are all reasonable people.
