Deputy Boyd Barrett is not wrong and I agree with what he wants to achieve. This amendment does not do that. It is not that simple. This is something that needs to be addressed and I want to address it. However, given the purpose of this Bill, which was stated at the outset, it was not going to be an opportunity to do that, unfortunately. When the Deputy looks at the complexity of what we are trying to do, it is not facilitated in this Bill and that amendment would not achieve it either.
