I am not sure it is the intention of standing orders to facilitate questioning of the opposition in the course of the committee stage of the debate on a bill, but I will oblige without setting a precedent and indicate that the opposition will not be supporting this amendment or, for that matter, any of the other amendments moved by Greens today—in the case of this amendment, for reasons similar to those that were offered by the minister.
