Perhaps I have foreshadowed it rather than simply asking for it at this stage, Chair, and thank you for seeking clarification from me. I guess it depends on whether the minister is in a position to go further than what he put earlier. Again, I accept what he says in good faith, but I also note his caveat about the technical advice. I accept the circumstances in which there has been a caveat to that advice. My position is that the undertaking needs to be unequivocal in order for me to support the government in relation to the legislation.
