I wonder whether or not the minister might be aware that these particular recommendations were proposed after a great deal of consideration by the committee that inquired into this bill. Obviously recommendations of a parliamentary legislation committee are not mandatory but they do tend to be pretty well thought through by the senators who attended the hearings and took the evidence. I wonder whether the minister might like to confirm why in this instance the government has a different view.
