I will take questions from members of the committee, but I have a quick question of my own for Mr. Lennon. In his opening statement, he advised that the Bill seeks to set up a parallel regulatory process and that he believes this undermines the regulatory frameworks already in place for controlled drugs. Would it be Mr. Lennon's view that the existing regulatory framework would be up to the task of regulating cannabis and that the Health Products Regulatory Authority, HPRA, would be able to take on that task?
