I chaired the Second Stage debate on the Bill last Thursday, which we got through reasonably quickly. I had a fair idea that there was no opposition here on Thursday on Second Stage. This Bill has unanimity and zero opposition. This does not happen too often. I commend the Minister and his officials on the work they have done on this to ensure there was literally no opposition to the Bill. It is clearly popular legislation on all sides of the House. I congratulate the Minister and his staff and commend the Bill on its passing.
