I thank those members who have contributed to the debate—more than 30 of them from the other side. I do not wish to indulge the filibuster any further by responding in great detail other than to simply make this point: the sector wants this. They have wanted it for decades and we are going to give it to them. For all the quotes you have wheeled out, we know they are quotes that were provided prior to the three parliamentary committees this has been subjected to. After three parliamentary committees and more than 30-odd speakers, the sector wants it and we are going to deliver it. I commend the bill to the House.
