As I said, we are looking at pre-legislative scrutiny of the draft Bill. We will take on board all the submissions and...

Victor Boyhan: I thank Councillor Killian for clarifying that. There is this consensus that if we had this very robust and rigorous statutory review process, however, it would sound acceptable. That is what I am taking away from this.
