I call Deputy Stanton. The Deputy is speaking in his capacity as Chair of the Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality. As the Minister stated, Deputy Stanton, as Chair of that committee, with his colleagues, held pre-legislative scrutiny on the Bill. This was a new provision introduced in November last. I recognise Deputy Stanton as Chair of that committee.
