I get that. I appreciate what the Minister of State says. What I am asking is whether the registrar would be provided in advance with some guidance on what he or she should be looking for when making the inquiries. The reason I ask this is to protect the registrar because some of these decisions could end up in court. The Bill very clearly provides an opportunity for a court challenge to a party who feels that he or she has been wrongly decided against. The more robust the process is, and the more protection the registrar has, in terms of decisions he or she may make, the more robust the decisions will be to withstand a subsequent court challenge. Does the Minister of State understand what I am asking?
