I refer to the phrase that was used, that a happy son is better than a dead daughter. That is very powerful. With regard to the recommendations of the committee on the Bill, I understand that a Bill is almost ready and awaiting publication. We are still waiting. Even though Mr. Giambrone has outlined very clearly to the committee the implications of that on a daily basis for many young people, does he have any update on whether it is coming forward or what the difficulty is in terms of getting it ready for publication?
