If the Minister of State has legal advice, I hope it is right. I also hope that if it is right, it is taken. We have had a lot of trouble over legal advice that was or was not taken recently. I hate to see legislation being passed that I think will put some people in a difficult situation in the future. These people are the very ones who will not be in a position to take legal advice because it is too expensive. In the case of the nursing homes, it was those who had the wherewithal to take legal advice who eventually exposed the situation. I can see that I will not get anywhere with this amendment and am disappointed.
