I am a bit surprised that, at this late hour, the minister is making this description of these amendments, because clearly that is not and could not be and will not be the situation. The issue with the government’s amendments from the outset has been that they do not provide the appropriate levels of protection that we believe are fundamental to this bill. Our amendments are well drafted and they achieve what is required.

Progress reported.
