I move amendment No. 17:

In page 20, before section 19, to insert the following new section:

"19.—The Minister will take all practicable steps to ensure that courses of training provided in accordance with section 62A shall be appropriate given the person's existing qualifications and experience.".

These amendments are about training. I am asking that courses being provided apply to the person and his or her existing skills and circumstances and, as the Minister stated, not be held a significant distance from where he or she lives. I am asking, for instance, that the Department not offer a barrister a dog-grooming course.
