I agree with the amendments. The last matter raised draws attention to the question of many trusts which, because of the death of other trustees, have only one remaining member. That may need to be addressed under different legislation, but it is a significant concern for trusts throughout the country. For example, it may be a concern in sports organisations which have a trustee for the grounds and so on. There is a need to bring the legislation on the number of trustees up to speed for such organisation. Some people give a significant amount of their time voluntarily, but there are other instances where remuneration must occur. This must be acknowledged and respected. I am sure the amendment will deal with that aspect of the matter.
