I intend to. I was not going to take my full 20 minutes. Indeed, I have only taken four and I thought five was reasonable. In terms of the legislation, we really believe that this is an opportunity for the government to give growers a chance to have a say to ensure that the only urgent matter in this bill is passed and to get on with referring this matter to the committee. We can do that today, simply by giving leave to a motion to refer it to the Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport Committee.
