Okay.
Minister, I am loath to interrupt you, but Members like to have copies when-----
It is normal practice.
Thank you, Minister. I do not wish to hammer the point, but Members are looking at me as regards copies of the speech. Such copies are very helpful, and this is significant legislation.
Deputy, we are on the Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill.
I do not, actually. We are on the Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill.
There are many ways of raising important issues.
Deputy, please. This is the Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill.
