I only have a couple of seconds left so I will not ask any more questions. I have significant concerns. I am not sure how a country like ours, with a legacy of incarceration, detention and the failures that go with it, can go down this road on which we have so little clarity and so little access to further information. Heads of Bill are being developed as we go through pre-legislative scrutiny. This undermines the work of the committee. It is an affront to the history of this country. We need to be very cautious about how we proceed when so many questions remain unanswered.
