Obviously I am disappointed that colleagues here did not see fit to continue with the other sections of the Bill. We are already here and could have disposed of the other sections thus saving time at a later date. Having said that, I acknowledge the reality. I respect the views of committee members even though I do not fully agree with them. I understand them and respect them. In my 20 years here this is the first time I have witnessed this occurrence. This is the first time I have taken Committee Stage of a Bill and I am not sure whether it is a bad omen.
