I have just one question. It may not be all that relevant but I will ask it just in case. A number of years ago, there was a considerable conversation on the digital age of consent. The Ombudsman for Children had a strong view on being realistic about children's Internet usage. Should we keep that in sight in respect of this Bill? We have one of the highest digital ages of consent, at 16. Is there anything that would concern the delegation about that in regard to this Bill? I have not fully thought out my question.
