I welcome the fact that we have the report. It is important that it broadly reflects the process that has taken place and the engagement of the committee therein. Much work went into it over a number of days and previously. It is urgent that we move the process forward, not least because of the most recent international report on climate change and given that we can no longer pretend it is not happening. Not believing in it is the equivalent of believing in a flat earth. It is important that we move the process forward as quickly as possible. Professor Sweeney has done a good job on behalf of the committee. I look forward to moving on to the various Stages of the legislation and developing it.
