I wish to update the committee on the matter. We have discussed it on a number of occasions. I was hoping to get down to the individual property level. We have gone back and forth to the Attorney General on this. The advice is that we cannot go to the individual property level. While we were investigating what amendment we could introduce to do it at a local area level, we think we have identified a separate Act where we might be able to get at this for a local electoral district area level. We are working to see if we can do that. It might not require an amendment on Report Stage at all. We will get a chance to discuss it then in more detail.
