I was going to say something but the Minister of State has addressed it. It is on page 8. By qualifying the definition we run the risk that an interpretation could be made at a later stage that is in conflict with the section. We would be narrowing it. The purpose of the amendment is to broaden the definition or ensure that the definition is as broad as possible. I would have thought that we would achieve the opposite by inserting qualifications. At a certain point, they could be used to narrow the definition. If the Minister of State is willing to look at it again, that is grand. I would caution on that point.
