I was a teacher. I was not particularly good at grammar, but I was a teacher. I thank the Minister for trying to answer my questions about the sliding scale. I find that interesting. It is not 100% convincing, but it is an interesting observation and I will say something about it when we come to speak on the section.

It would be much better if longer periods were allocated for this Bill, so that we could really get into it. We have a little smattering here and there, and I know the Minister agrees as well. I think we could order the business a bit better.
