I found it very interesting to get involved in this Bill and to seek help, particularly that of the Minister of State's officials. I was hoping to see them yesterday, and while I could not make it on that occasion, I appreciate the offer of help. It is a much better Bill now than it was when it started. It has come about from the work the Minister of State's officials and this House have put into it, but more than anything else from the reception the Minister of State has given it. He certainly has an ability to listen to what is being said and to take into account many of those things. It is a better Bill. It is going to improve. Some changes can still be made in the other House. That is the Minister of State's responsibility on that occasion. We in this House can look back on this Bill and say it has left here in a better state than it was, and it could even be improved again. That is very much due to the efforts of the Minister of State and his officials and the Members of this House.
