Yes. I have also met the representative associations to discuss the wide range of points that were presented to the committee. I met them bilaterally and indicated the ones I was prepared to move on in advance of Committee Stage, which I did. There were two heads involved. In respect of head 25, I withdrew it and wrote to the committee to indicate same. I also informed the associations that I was withdrawing it. It related to the military prosecutor and military judge being members of the representative associations.

Does the Chairman want me to deal with this specific amendment? That might be better.
