I will make two brief final points. I do not have a monopoly on wisdom and we will have the learned people from the Department to speak after me, who I am sure will give the committee some useful insights on this. Like any piece of legislation it can be amended and improved. This is the first offering and not the complete article.
I wish to also put on the record that the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has called for guidelines on the use of gift vouchers and gift cards but it has not called for legislation. That has been out there in the ether for a while. It is time we put something more definitive into legislation because it is such a big spend within our economy.
