I have let you answer the question. I am simply trying to say that what this legislation does is take away the legal frameworks and legal guardrails. It allows for policy. Dr. Burke has said that policy is what matters, but unfortunately our concern is that the policy is determined by the Government of the day without any oversight or guardrails around it. That is the issue we have with this legislation.
