I move amendment No. 110:

In page 43, subsection (2), line 44, to delete "3 years" and substitute "2 years".

I wish to make a brief point. I think there have been genuine problems in this area and, in my amendment, I propose more frequent inspection. I will be guided by the Minister of State, but I would like to hear his observations on some of the language schools. I think some of these schools were a means of illegal immigration and of people working illegally. There was evidence of some problems in that sector. I wonder if more frequent inspection might be appropriate, given what has arisen in the past. I will defer to the Minister of State.
