I agree with the Deputy. Regardless of the views of some, any adjustments that I make will be in spirit of trying to make the legislation work better and I will not make changes that will reduce the transparency, details of which I have shared with the committee. The only spirit that I will approach this in is that it is an Act which is still recent and the period of implementation has been relatively short by legislative standards. We must make sure not to make adjustments that appear justified following a relatively short period of implementation.
