This is, of course, the case with these grants. There is State money going in here too and conditions can be put on it. It is a very simple principle. I find it difficult, therefore, that there is this idea of absolutism here. The Minister said the principles of ESG are built into the proposed legislation. Obviously, however, this is built into section 74(2)(b), where we have this word, "may". In her own heart and soul, I think the Minister would probably wonder why this came out as "may" instead of "shall". This is basically where the ESG principles referred to are written in, is it not?
