I thank the Minister for taking on board what I said. This is a critical issue. We must compare this legislation with other legislation to ensure consistency, and a timeframe of six months should be added to the Bill. In fairness to the Minister, on this issue, if this issue alone, he has listened to us. Otherwise, we would have been left in a scenario in which some women could potentially, due to certain circumstances, have fallen outside of the time period. Adding on the six months ensures that they are within the time period. For this reason I welcome the fact that the Minister has added it.
