Do not thank God just yet, because I have not finished. It is very important to remember that we would not be happy with every decision that was made. We should always try to ensure the best planning process is followed and that the planning Acts and guidelines are used fairly and work for the benefit of the people within the law, nothing more and nothing less. I ask the Minister to keep that in mind.

I notice the Minister is getting restless. Ministers get restless from time to time, so this is not the first time in my time in this House. In summary, let us do this for the good of people, the urgency of whose need is obvious at present. Incidentally, I was in the House last night too.
