I thank the Deputy. I understand that even in civil law, this is a standard constitutional right that exists. This is a long-standing constitutional privilege that individuals enjoy if they stand accused of a matter. As I said a moment ago, elsewhere in the legislation, particularly in terms of the conduct standards that are laid out, there will be ample opportunity for a regulator to raise issues of malfeasance and access information in an appropriate way under those parts of the legislation.
