Absolutely. I commend Senator Andrews and others on the work they do regarding animal welfare. I do not think anyone would disagree that we do not have a great record on legislating to protect animals that are essentially a part of our family in a way that, as the Senator rightly pointed out, a mobile phone is not. It would be in order. In light of that, I will ask the secretariat if we can schedule a hearing to take place for definite this year. Is that agreed? Agreed.
