I thank the Minister, his officials and my colleagues on the committee for a constructive and engaging consideration of the Bill. The committee has done a great deal of work on the Bill. It was probably our first exercise in pre-legislative scrutiny and that showed today in the nature and spirit in which we were able to expedite Committee Stage without rushing it. I acknowledge that certain recommendations which the committee made after considering the Bill at pre-legislative scrutiny stage were incorporated into the Bill on its publication.
