On behalf of the committee, I thank our guests for coming before us. This has certainly been an informative exercise. In terms of the process, we discussed this matter with the Minister in July. The Bill has not yet been published and I am aware that certain aspects of it will be changed prior to publication. We will have a further opportunity to engage further with the Minister on this matter. We will examine the position further next week and identify the relevant points that need to be raised with him and his Department immediately. There are other matters with which we will be able to deal when the legislation emerges in the new year. We may even consult our guests further in the interim. The committee will certainly be involved in the process relating to the legislation.
