We are a partnership. I hear the commentary about men and women. I have nothing but respect for women. I have nothing but respect for my wife who I have been married to for 35 years, and we are still very happy. I would do anything for my wife. All I am trying to say is that we just need clarity and certainty on this issue. That is all I have asked the Minister to do. It is a very simple request.
