I, again, put on the record—as I am going to for each of these government amendments, apart from the one that I will call a division on—that this amendment was not properly analysed and the committee was not given the opportunity to do its job. I strongly believe that this bill will be passed into law in a flawed and unworkable form that will create unnecessary and dangerous ambiguity for people with no connection and no interest in doing defence research who will nonetheless be brought within the clauses of this bill. It is a grave mistake that the chamber is making today.

Question agreed to.
