I will be circulating an amendment to include a 12-month sunset clause. I would like the government's view on safeguards to ensure that this doesn't just sit there. We know that things change in politics. This has been so rushed. I accept the urgency of it, but to vote on something of this nature with such little time and then to not even accept putting in some safeguards, when we hear that we're going to legislate anyway next year—I'm just interested in the government's view on a 12-month sunset.
