May I make one brief comment? I thank the Minister for his response. There is no question of anyone trying to kick the can down the road from my perspective or that of Senator Power. What we are trying to do is to protect peoples' legal entitlements. I am not going to go over the arguments again but I want to clarify that point with the Minister. We want an agreement but we do not feel the environment for an agreement is actually helped by the Minister passing this legislation because after its passing, no agreement is required.
