Thank you, Minister. I neglected to acknowledge that you have appeared here this afternoon. I know the invitation was at short notice and we appreciate that you have come in to the committee this afternoon. Before I open the floor to our speakers, regarding the complexities that have arisen, would they be more time constraints rather than legal complexities or issues with the Bill, as it was being worked on?
