The government will support these amendments. The proposed bill and the existing act already go some way to addressing the issue raised in the proposed amendments, but the government does support the intent of the amendments. We should be providing greater transparency around insurer and specialist pricing practices, which, indeed, is what the bill before the chamber seeks to do.

Question agreed to.
