I accept what the Minister is saying, but he failed to address the question I asked. How is he going to deal with the issue of consent in the interim? Will we still let it be referred back to the courts? What is the timeline for that capacity legislation? This was consistently raised during the hearings we had on the issue. The committee requires clarification on what will happen in the interim between the enactment of this Bill and the enactment of the capacity legislation to deal with the genuine issues of consent that have been raised. What sort of timeline exists for that interim period?
