I thank the minister for her responses so far. In fact, the minister has brushed up against two very specific questions I have, but for the sake of absolute clarity for my community I'd like to ask these questions. I'll do them one at a time, if you don't mind, Speaker. First of all, through you, Speaker, to the minister, many people are concerned about the potential for offsets to be allowed under the nature repair market without sufficient protections to ensure their integrity. For absolute clarity, if you won't pass my amendments: can you guarantee that the reforms to the EPBC Act and related reforms to strengthen the integrity of offsets will be in place before any offsets are granted under the nature repair market?
