That takes me to an amendment that I will move later. This is a major issue in terms of how people are going to access credit and the heavy penalties that will not be captured under this legislation, which is consumer protection legislation.

It is good that we are regulating them, but there is a big issue on which I have an amendment later that I ask the Minister of State to support. I thank him for the clarification.
