I congratulate the Minister on the passing of the Bill. The Minister listened and, although he did not accept all the amendments, he explained his reasoning. I congratulate him. If we are to make legislation accessible to the public, however, we must make sure we use modern methods of communication. The Minister is incorrect when he says that including publication by electronic means is compelling enough to ensure others do this. This agency will do it but in other cases the Minister will hear arguments being made. I hope he will respond in a manner that will copperfasten what we are trying to achieve here.
