Through you, Chair: Senator Patterson, you are arguing that that guarantees that human eggs will not be caught up in the possibility of requiring a licence as per the concerns raised by ACCESS and the Fertility Society. So, subsection 20(1) as it currently stands—because of, presumably, (b), (c) and (e)—covers that? Just make sure there is a specific protection under 20(1) for those eggs to which we are referring. I am sorry to be pedantic—maybe it is making up for my grammar—but I just want specific clarification.
