I am advised that this bill is essentially a consolidation bill cleaning up or consolidating a whole range of different legislative regimes. In that sense it is a continuation of the status quo. There are, I am advised, no specific plans at this time to run, for want of a better word, not meaning to put words in your mouth, an educational campaign. But to the extent that I am wrong about that, I will be sure to come back to you with further advice. That is my understanding at the moment.
