That is fine. Obviously, the legislation as passed has to be fully supported. I agree with other speakers that there should be geographical availability of the services as per the wishes of the people in the referendum.

I am concerned, however, because the Minister stated earlier, in response to one of my colleagues, that if recommendations come from the review, they will have to be brought to the Government. To be clear, if the recommendations were that the three days or 12 weeks should be looked at, the Minister is saying that this would be only in respect of the operation of those periods rather than the lengths of time themselves.
