As the Deputy has said, it is not an ideal Bill as it stands now. We can work with the NGOs and the relevant people to make it ideal. However, I do not believe in putting something in and passing it for the sake of passing it if the needs of people are not met. The Civil Engagement Group has drawn up amendments that contain an awful lot that we would like to add. I thank the witnesses for coming in today.
