I appreciate that all legislation is brought forward by the Minister. I was asking what where the origins and where the idea for this originated from. Perhaps it originated with the Minister but, if it originated elsewhere, we are none the wiser on that. It is a legitimate issue to ask and I want to make that point.

Has any analysis been done on how this will affect people's access to justice, given this could have cost implications for people? Has that analysis been done and, if so, what did that analysis show us or what are the results of that analysis? If that analysis has not been done, should it be done?
