We on this side of the chamber did not support the amendments and they do seem to me to be deficient in certain key respects. Senator Siewert has pointed to some areas where they are deficient. It seems to me that they are further deficient in that they do not require any action to be taken beyond the report. I wonder whether the minister would care to give an undertaking to the Senate that, were there found to be unintended consequences and there was a view that reform was required, the government would act on that decision.
