I welcome amendment No. 97. It relates to the earlier amendment that was around strengthening the information channel and exchange between an individual and the commission, for example, through the commission informing individuals when their information had been passed on. This is an amendment that seeks to ensure people will get a timely response, even if it is the case that their complaint is adjudicated to not have merit and is dismissed, so they are not in a limbo situation of not knowing whether their complaint is moving forward. It is just good practice. I thank the Minister for taking that on board. I welcome the amendment.
