Text
I thank the Member for giving way. The debate has evolved: at the beginning, we said that there were unintended consequences, but those are starting to feel very much like they are intended. I cannot get away from that fact, because I have not received any clarity on the loose, subjective language that the Member has used, only that he wants to capture a greater number of people, which can include parents, preachers or anyone in between.
