I would be very happy to do that. In many cases, what we are looking to do is to align with legislation that is already there but that being said, we are vesting new powers in the standards commissioner, as we have discussed. There will be a change in how we expect public officials and elected members to perform. In that spirit, I will take up Deputy Calleary's suggestion and write to the local authority representative bodies to notify them of this. If they have any further concerns, we will take them on board.
