Just as the courts examine how they can best hear the views and voices of children and give much consideration to that, I agree with Deputy Conway when she says that practice will be the critical issue here, as it always is. I would also say that there is a strong legislative base. I understand the point that Deputy Troy is making. However, in respect of the intent of his amendment, if he looks at my amendment - amendment No. 20 - he will see that it addresses what he is looking for here.
