I move amendment No. 116:

In page 41, line 16, to delete “partnership” and substitute “co-operation”.

This goes back to the legal connotations of "partnership". On the basis of the legal advice, therefore, I am replacing it with "co-operation". I take the point, however, because it is different but similar to the discussion we had earlier. I hear the committee on the importance of the word "partnership". I obviously outlined the legal concerns around "partnership" and flagged it in an earlier section. I do believe, however, that "co-operation" accurately reflects the policy intent with regard to student surveys. As I said, it aligns with a similar amendment to section 9(1)(i).
