I will not hold up the House. The intention of the opposition's amendment is a pretty close match to how we had envisaged the committee operating. The concept of putting that in and formalising it in the bill is, I think, a good suggestion and I thank the opposition for the consultative way in which the drafting has taken place.
Question agreed to.
