I thank everyone for their contributions today. I cannot think of any more important work for us this year than the oversight of this legislation. It is an incredibly important piece of work and I thank our witnesses for taking the time to bring us through the general scheme. I am in the same position as Deputy Buckley in terms of only starting this conversation. It will take a lot of granular work to get through all of this because there is a lot of information here. In that context, I will try to use my time to contextualise some of the issues for myself.

In the documentation provided and in some of the briefings we had previously, there is some discussion on this issue but from the witnesses' perspective, what are the other key pieces of legislation with which this legislation will interact?

What else should we reference when we debate this legislation?
