I will certainly have a look at that and see quite how it fits with the formulation we have used in this legislation. I repeat that the phraseology used in sections 9(1) of the Bill, which refers to having "regard to the best interests of the child in all matters", is quite strong. I will examine the comment mentioned by the Senator to see what it says and come back to her on the matter on Report Stage.
