I thank Mr. Brunell. The delay was the main issue. We could have the Bill passed by Christmas, but enacting it will take time. There may be amendments. We have a duty to try to get it through as quickly as possible, which is the main aim. Once people know that, they will be happy, but there is a lack of communication. Mr. Brunell's comments were important. Having the legislation enacted by early next year would be important.
