Ivana Bacik: I have not contributed on this amendment before but it seems, listening to the debate, that Senator Warfield was raising a matter that deserves serious consideration in the course of the debate on this Bill. The Minister of State is saying that until the feasibility study concludes, he cannot engage in any other way of dealing with the matter through this Bill. It seems a pity, given that...
