What else is there to consider? It is absolutely fundamental, in terms of climate change, that we are not just doing adaptation measures but are doing mitigation measures as well. It is absolutely fundamental. There is no debate to be had on this. There is no debate to be had between Opposition Deputies and a Minister of State from the Green Party on this. I assume we are on the same page on this issue so why can this amendment not be accepted now? Why is there any question mark over accepting it? A bad error was made in the original draft of the Bill by not having the wording that we propose here. Now that it has been pointed out, surely the amendment should just be accepted and we move on. I do not understand how there could be any consideration given to not including this.
