I thank Ms Bergin very much for that statement. I will open the floor and go to members but before I do, I will throw the ball in myself. Mr. Grant made a comment at the end of his presentation that he hopes "this Bill does not receive the same fate as the 2013 gambling control Bill." I am afraid that is to an extent a new one on me. I was not around for that Bill; it was before my time. I understand that Bill started but stopped and did not progress. What were Mr. Grant's views on that? Out of interest, is that something he would have welcomed in terms of learning from it? Did he support that Bill? In his opinion, was it going along similar lines?
