We all make decisions. I refer to the children's Act. I was very proud of the former Minister, Deputy Fitzgerald, and the Minister, Deputy Flanagan, as Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, because we changed some of the legislation around the offences caused by young people whereby convictions were expunged. As Senator Boyhan said, I hope we can take this Bill and, if we need to, amend it to make it better. I do not mean that to be offensive, as the Senator knows. We have started a good journey. I congratulate the Senator.
