And the opt-out question. We are certainly grateful to the Minister for her engagement. I think the Minister has seen the level of commitment and engagement the committee has with these important recommendations. On behalf of the committee, I thank the Minister and her officials for their constructive engagement.

We may be back to the Minister in writing for further clarifications as we go through the writing up of our report and our action plan.

I will suspend the meeting now for two minutes to enable the Minister and officials to leave and to bring in the next witnesses for the second session of public engagement today.
