On that point, and it relates to an amendment I tabled that was ruled out of order, I welcome that the Minister will lay the details of the scheme before the House, but I was trying to facilitate a provision that the House would be able to discuss it, rather than simply being presented with it. I was advised that my amendment was ruled out of order as it was not in the spirit of the Bill, which is a bit insulting to the Minister's Bill because he was promoting the idea of transparency, involvement and accountability. I was trying to say this is a good measure but was asking the Minister to ensure we get a chance to discuss it when he presents it to the House.
