No. We were preparing this Bill and drafting it, and then the report of the Law Reform Commission dropped. I did not want to stop and delay the process. The Law Reform Commission report was published while this Bill was being prepared, as I said. We decided at Government that the CPO provisions in the Bill should reflect those in the current Act and that a more comprehensive review of the CPO provisions, looking at both the steps up to when a CPO has been confirmed, as well as the steps that should be undertaken, should also take into account the report of the Law Reform Commission. What I have said is this report is being assessed. The Law Reform Commission did four or five years of work on it.
