I will make three points in response to Senator McDowell. I thank him for making an important contribution, particularly in the area of sanctions. Before I respond to the Senator, I will make two brief points in response to the questions posed by Senators Norris and McDowell when they wondered as to the sense of amendment No. 68. I wish to allay their fears and concerns by pointing out that it is a drafting amendment solely. We are adding a full stop and taking account of amendment No. 66, which overtakes the sense of what is in line 1, page 21.
