I, too, hope that happens. Given the significant number of amendments Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan and I have indicated we intend to bring forward on Report Stage, might it be possible for us to sit down with departmental officials to get clarification on some of the issues we raised? If we had that clarification, there might be no need for some of the amendments. Given the importance of the legislation, I hope we are allocated sufficient time to submit Report Stage amendments and that the subsequent debate is not guillotined. Will the Minister indicate to the Chief Whip the importance of giving ample time in the Chamber on Report Stage to debate all the amendments we propose?
