I will raise Senator Norris's point with the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Bruton, in advance of Report Stage. Senator Norris referred to sending out a signal. In general, in legislation like this, which deals with restructuring, we do not restate existing law. I know what Senator Norris is saying. He is trying to push the agenda a little more to make it clear. I will certainly mention Senator Norris's concerns to the Minister. Senator Norris suggested the Disability Act is not always implemented. However, I do not believe restating it in this Bill would strengthen the Disability Act 2005. I understand what Senator Norris is saying and that he is keen to make it clear.
