The government opposes these amendments. I outlined the reasons why in my summing-up speech earlier. I will not go over those again, but I refer to them. In relation to Senator Murray’s comment, we will certainly maintain a flexible approach because, in the implementation, we might learn some lessons, so to speak, and it could be that people say that they can implement something more quickly than they thought. We will certainly be alive to that.
