There was a time when one had to join a society to access the internet. One could not just get on the web. We have come a long way and much of it is very positive, but we as a committee need to write back. We have to form our views on this particular legislation. That is the job of pre-legislative scrutiny. I think the message from all here is that it is not fit for purpose and not where it should be, and that the Department needs to address our concerns and the witnesses' concerns.
