We accept there needs to be an interim process, but the period involved does not need to be a year. We want the whole thing scrutinised and discussed in detail in here in terms of how all of this will work and to ensure it is genuinely open, transparent and diverse and not subject to untoward influences from particular industry stakeholders, interests or political influence. Therefore, there should not be carte blanchefor the Minister over an extended period. The matter should be discussed in detail in the House so that we have a level of transparency, given this is all being done in a rush. Our amendment is quite reasonable in that regard. The Minister should accept it.
