I thank the Minister for his comments. I understand the difficulties that youth and transpeople have with regard to their sexuality. I have had many children in my care who may have been even thrown out of their homes because of their sexuality. I have had a number of transchildren in my care as a foster parent. Obviously, I have raised some issues this morning that have caused deep offence to the Minister and to the transcommunity, which I certainly do not wish to do. However, I look forward to receiving that report when it is due to be published.
