I thank the Deputy. Is everyone happy that he or she has communicated what he or she came to say? I have no doubt everyone has, but I thought I would offer the opportunity in any event. It is fair to reflect. I fully agree with what Deputy Wallace and others said about the decision to have pre-legislative scrutiny. It was the right decision. We thank the Business Committee for the referral. We will now prepare a report. The timeframe is that we will have a draft in a number of weeks. Unanimity will be ambitious but, nevertheless, we will make recommendations.
