Deputy Boyd Barrett has referred to "drift", which is a good word. This legislation was being worked on prior to 2011 and it is now 2015 and we are at this stage. I understand that there are complexities and many elements that need to be worked through. This certainly could be accelerated and we should be further advanced than we are. This amendment is aimed at ensuring that we take the drift out of the process and try to enforce discipline in getting this much-needed legislation implemented. If we are serious about getting this in place, it can be done.
