I thank the Minister of State for taking on board the amendments we proposed on Committee Stage. It is very important not only to have the number of organisations cited in the legislation, but also the specificity of the organisations that are being invited. It is important that we put this out at the very beginning. Heretofore, I had argued that the large number of organisations the Minister of State is proposing to invite will probably prove very frustrating in the context of the body of work to be done. This may be for later amendments, but I am grateful that the Minister of State has acquiesced and is deciding to specify the organisations in the legislation.
