I seek clarification. We are speaking in section 59 about assistance for voluntary bodies. The understanding legally and in other legislation is the word "person" has the same equal understanding in law. Will the Minister cite other legislation particular to this understanding, either in the area of children's interests or any other the Minister can share with us?
