I am concerned that this amendment would compound the burdens of reviewing and reporting of the new authority in its first year of operations. We have put considerable thought into this and I have made some changes to it, as the Senator knows. It has been carefully laid out and sequenced under the Bill so as to make them realisable within achievable timeframes. I do not want to upset that timeframe that has been carefully thought through. We want to see the legal partnerships coming into operation in 2016. We want work done on the multidisciplinary partnerships within a certain timeframe. I have told the Senator that I would look at the issue of conveyancing and come back to him on Report Stage to see if I could suggest or accept anything specific in that regard. I will not accept the amendment.
