I take on board what the Minister is saying. If, for example, this Bill passes and then in a year's time the public consultation has not happened and we ask the Minister about it, she may say that there is no requirement in law for that to happen. That is the problem. I am not saying that would happen or anything like that, but that is the problem with it. If it will happen, why not have that in the legislation? I am worried about that. It should be there and it should be par for the course. It should not be taken as read.
