I urge the Minister to examine this as broadly as he can in respect of maintaining the voluntary assistants. If it is not broken, do not fix it. The voluntary aspect of this is working and it encourages people to get involved. In my credit union, people built up experience over a number of years in respect of volunteering. They are now getting skilled up on financial regulation. I would welcome the Minister examining this point and other areas of conflict of interest to tighten up the legislation and protect volunteerism.
