I am concerned that if we are not granular it will be interpreted in a way that could be very negative. The Minister is establishing a commissioner in this regard. That gives these people authority and power that we will not have a second bite at. If it is not granular, there could be an error. The Minister is correct that the Bill has been available to be read for 15 months but I would say that fewer than five people in either House are aware of this and there are five or six of us here.
