I take Deputy Calleary's point that it is open to any Deputy on Report Stage to table amendments. We shared all of our amendments with the Bills Office last Thursday in advance of the deadline for this session. However, I apologise if members feel that they have not had enough time to consider them. If any Deputy wishes to amend the Bill on Report Stage, we will consider anything put forward, particularly as this Bill is reasonably central to how public life could be perceived in future. We will take any issue that colleagues wish to raise now on board. If we can devise ideas to improve the Bill on Report Stage, we will do so. If we cannot, I will engage with Deputies on any change that they propose to make.
