I ask the Minister to clarify a point. I found the Bill somewhat confusing in that this section 39 refers to the board of the agency but the preamble to the Bill defines the agency and the board of the agency. The agency means the child and family agency established under section 7 of the Bill. The board is also defined. I ask why the definitions are not more precise. In a future argument, there could be a difference of opinion as to whether advice was given by the board or by the agency. I am slightly confused on this point.
