Alright. That is fine. We are making progress. At least the Member for Seme concedes that the Member for Tongaren’s amendment is almost the same as, or similar to, his amendment. Now from there we will go to the next stage between hon. Eseli and the Chair of the relevant Committee. Chair, do you think that is clear enough?
