I welcome the Minister of State to the House. For the information of Members, please note that the House, by agreeing to the motion to recommit, allows a Committee Stage style discussion on the amendments Nos. 3, 4, 9 and 10, that is, Members may speak more than once on each amendment.

In respect of other amendments, I remind Senators that on Report Stage a Senator may speak only once, except the proposer of the amendment who may reply to the discussion on the amendment. On Report Stage, each non-Government amendment must be seconded.

Government amendment No. 1 arises out of committee proceedings. Amendments Nos. 1, 5 and 7 are related and may be discussed together by agreement. Is that agreed? Agreed.
