I thank the Chair and the Minister of State and his officials for facilitating this meeting. I offer special praise to the public servants. They do a great job and they help our work during what is a very difficult time. It is good that we are establishing a marine accident investigation unit in the Department of Transport. One amendment brought forward with which I agree relates to the marine accident investigation unit being prohibited from being used in criminal proceedings. That is very logical and sensible. I thank each and every person responsible for bringing this Bill before the select committee.
