No; not for a minute. I need to make a bit of progress. The Bill leaves an enormous amount of room for that to happen. Parents could be caught by any of those things in the Bill. Does the intent of "changing or suppressing" relate to "counselling", "talking therapy" and "coaching or instruction"? Those are important issues for us to consider. The Member may shake her head, because she is not concerned about the impact on parents and children.
