As the Minister resumes her seat, I would ask: if the matter is so serious, what is the problem with changing the word from ““may”” to ““must””? What difficulty does that bring? Seeing the seriousness of the matter, why do the Government continue to say, ““We will watch this””, ““We will do this””, or ““There will be a review of this””? This is a very simple amendment. I would have thought that they could, for once, admit and accept that the amendment be inserted, instead of postponing for some future thing. What is the real problem? I have not heard an answer to why ““may”” must remain and ““must”” must not be inserted.
