I thank the Minister of State for his response. Given that the chairman of the expert advisory council, Professor John FitzGerald, has been publishing reports on the economy for approximately 25 years, he does not need the advice of the Environmental Protection Agency on how to publish his reports. If there is nothing in the Bill that infringes on the rights of Professor Fitzgerald and his committee to publish reports as they wish, that is fine. As everyone in the country knows, Professor Fitzgerald is highly competent in the preparation and issuing of reports. I will withdraw the amendment.
