I appreciate what the Minister said. The amendment was an effort on our part to provide more clarity in terms of the aim of the legislation. Am I correct in terms of the Minister's response, that it would result in a narrowing of the prevention of corruption? If, instead, we had suggested only the promotion of transparency and accountability would that have been acceptable or is it that the entirety of what is proposed narrows the scope of the legislation? While I take on board what the Minister said, the amendment seeks only to add some clarity to the Title, which is also important in judicial interpretation.
