I have a question on head 7, the establishment of the office for fairness and transparency in the agrifood supply chain, and the process that led to this proposal. The programme for Government provided for the establishment of a food ombudsman. When the matter went out for public consultation, there was reference to a food ombudsman and a food regulator. From where did the title for the new office come? Were there submissions suggesting the name of the new body should be the "office for fairness and transparency in the agrifood supply chain", as opposed to either the "food ombudsman" or "food regulator"? Has the Minister given any consideration to sectoral regulators, as has been suggested, in particular, for the meat sector?
