I wish to back up what Senator Ruane said. Reports and reviews are often specified depending on which one is more appropriate to prove the effective operation of a measure. We are dealing with the Employment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill and a review is appropriate and would fit with the purpose of the Bill. We know the social welfare Bill, for example, regularly has reports attached to it. I accept it may not be pretty and it may affect the framing of the Bill but it is appropriately legal, there is nothing wrong with it and it is very doable. It is a very reasonable proposal. We just want to be sure regarding this issue. We know the Minister has made a commitment in this area. She has driven the issue forward, building on the work of the previous Minister of State, now Senator Nash. The amendment would ensure consistency regardless of who is in the Minister's role.
