My voice is almost gone, so I will be brief. I welcome the representatives of the various organisations to the Visitors' Gallery. I thank the Minister for giving his time yesterday to meet with the Members who requested a meeting with him. Some of us travelled many miles to get here yesterday afternoon, when the House was not sitting, but we considered it important to achieve a consensus on as many of the amendments as possible. We hope the Minister will accept as many as he can.

I agree with the sentiment behind this amendment and I hope the Minister will be able to accept it. It is a good idea to have a review after two years to consider any issues that people believe have not been dealt with properly or provisions that could be tweaked or changed. As my colleagues said, things are changing rapidly around the world, with countries moving in different directions. I urge the Minister to accept the amendment.
