Given that this is the opening amendment, I want to take the opportunity to say it is a privilege to be part of this legislative process. This is the first Bill that I've seen through for Plaid Cymru, and it has been an informative and enjoyable process. I wish to place on record my thanks to the Deputy Minister, her officials, the clerking team and my committee colleagues for their diligent and hard work. I also want to thank the various bodies who spoke with me and informed me of the potential pitfalls of the original draft of this Bill. I wholeheartedly believe that we will end up with a stronger and more resilient piece of legislation as a result of this work. I would have preferred it had the Bill gone a bit further in a number of aspects, but you can't win them all. It's important, however, that we have had a debate on the record for us to see where we all stand. Given that you'll be hearing a lot of me this evening, I will wrap things up by saying that I'll be supporting Jane's amendment, and we will be voting in favour. Diolch yn fawr.
