I thank the Senator for tabling the amendment. To be very clear again, it will be based on scientific research. The relevant research was sought and is being carried out. I understand why people want that. The process will take time. If the research, which is independent of me and my Department, indicates that there is a problem, that problem will be rectified. If there is a problem with foundations, then foundations will be included. The Senator does not understand. The definition is broad enough as it stands. We will be able to do it by way of regulation. I do not propose to accept the amendment.
