I am interested to hear what the Minister of State and my colleagues have said in this regard. It is probably fair to say the substance of the proposed amendment more closely approximates to our law than the section as drafted. I understand the Minister of State's point as to its relevance in this section and, for that reason alone, I will not be pressing the amendment at this point. However, the Minister of State will know we are wrestling with these issues in the committee of which I am a member. There is some irony to the fact the content of the amendment as proposed by us is essentially the law, although the Minister of State says it is not relevant to have it included here — that is really the point he is making and I understand that point. While it is important to test this issue, as we will be doing in the next couple of months in the committee, I will not press the amendment at this point.
