I support the views of my colleagues, particularly on amendment No. 42. I agree with the points made by Senator Jim Walsh. It would be difficult for policing committees to be established without the issue of guidelines. It is not an option, but is something that would have to be done. I am more agnostic about the three months and would be even more so with regard to amendment No. 44 because we might want to include other provisions in the guidelines. However, in the case of amendment No. 42 there is an unanswerable logical case for the use of "shall".
