On the point Deputy Cairns is making about giving the option of "or", I understand where the Minister is coming from on this, and we had those discussions during pre-legislative scrutiny. However, the option that is made available by the Deputy's amendment is about the significance of this for people who feel aggrieved. You potentially might have lived your whole life only to find out you are not who you thought you were. To describe it as distressing is an understatement. The amendment is well-worded.
