Obviously, there are two very different positions here. The amendments of Senator McDowell or the Minister of State would basically kill the Bill at this stage. The committee is split. Six members want the Bill to proceed. While I do not wish to speak for other members, some may agree to the Bill being amended on a further Stage. It would be a pity for the Bill to be killed off because it is well intentioned. There is an urgency on this matter in the light of the facts and figures presented at the recent climate change conference in Poland. We must get on with dealing with this issue.
