I commend the Minister on the passage through this House of this legislation. We all appreciate that it is ground-breaking. It is also long overdue. We have raised many issues in a spirit of co-operation and common purpose. I do not doubt that we will reflect further on them as the legislation takes effect. I commend the Minister and his officials on the considerable body of work they have done on this Bill. We all wish the legislation God speed.
