I welcome the passage of the legislation. We have broken from a non-starter into a gallop. This is the second Bill we have enacted in six months. This is important because a commitment was made to have it in place for September. It looked for a while that the Bill might not make it, but to have it enacted in time to fulfil that commitment is important. I commend the Minister of State on his efforts in that regard.
