The amendment reflected something that did not exist in the first place. The previous amendment would have to have indicated that there would be a register of guardianship. The Senator's amendment would have reflected what he would like to see within that guardianship register. As the register does not exist, then it would in itself be negated. It is on that basis that we are pursuing this amendment once again.
