I will be as brief as possible and I thank the Chairman for allowing me back in.

We take our job seriously. We are law-makers. We want to ensure that law is good law. Any law that is rushed or any law for which both sides are not taken into account is bad law. We are trying to bring in laws that effectively help to save members of the public on the roads from drink-driving, but we have to try to be balanced to ensure that all sides are listened to. This has been a very informative session. The witnesses took the time out to come up with a report that is forensic and that has certainly enlightened members of committee.

I hope the analysis in the report will show there is no justification for the measures proposed by the Minister. This committee will take on board all sides of the argument, from the RSA and today's witnesses. The witnesses are welcome and what they have put on the record of this committee is important for this Bill. It will make sure it is fair and does what it is supposed to do.
