I will press the amendment. Even leaving aside the question of abuse, in general, when we have discretion we should have accountability. It is a thing of trust. Wherever we give discretion, discretionary power or interpretative power, it is good practice to have accountability around how that interpretation and discretion is used. Even in general, we should be aiming higher in this area.
