I will discuss amendment No. 91 when we reach amendments Nos. 86 and 87.

On amendment No. 90, the Minister has indicated a willingness to move on this given that there was provision for a similar senior level judicial appointments committee in the original version of the Bill. That is welcome. If Senator McDowell's amendment or some variation of it was accepted, our amendment No. 91 does not arise as it simply becomes a different type of procedure. I support Senator McDowell's amendment. Amendment No. 91 deals with a separate issue and can be discussed with amendments Nos. 86 and 87.
