I support this amendment. It is the kind of section that is frequently seen in legislation. It makes sense. We are putting this on a statutory basis. It had an institutional basis without having a statutory basis. It is important that we see the patterns that emerge, the experience of the board with the new procedures, and the organisation that is involved. It would be a useful exercise if, within two years, we had a substantial report or at least a detailed report that gave us the opportunity to reflect on this legislation and to identify any shortcomings that exist or additions that need to be made. This amendment is useful and non-contentious.
