It was very broad. All voices were listened to and heard. Returning to the point Deputy Higgins made, perhaps Professor Crowe would come back to us with the issues he raised. I know he spoke about four weeks in head 9. If there are other things that stick out in the general scheme about where we could improve public consultation and have a proper public consultation, it would be helpful for us.

I have only 40 seconds left and it would probably be difficult for Professor Crowe to answer in that time. I am interested in the MPAs for carbon sequestration as well. We obviously have a forestry challenge and land-use challenge in the terrestrial environment. There is also great potential in the marine area for carbon sequestration. We might come back to that afterwards because I need to be as strict with my time as I was with everybody else's.
