They are good documents and they set out very clearly performance indicators, what our expectations are, and the management tools that are employed in order to deliver those objectives, and they work very well. And I think this is where the committee and the…

Yes, I just wanted to complete the conversation on EU matters before moving on to Ireland. The previous First Minister was—without wishing to put words in his mouth—not persuaded, shall we say, of the need to deliver and develop a specific EU strategy. I was…

I'm grateful to you, First Minister. You mentioned my visit to the United States;' I would like, through you, to thank Andrew and his team for the help and support they gave me there. And you mentioned the work of Ministers; it's as individual Members as…

Thank you. I very much like what you've been saying, First Minister. I think that that very positive, outward-looking approach is really important. I will say that myself and the Chair had dinner with the EU ambassador last week, and we had long…

Can I say, Adam makes the point about Order in Council, and I presume—and I'm looking at the lawyers in the room now to confirm this—that is how we would make an amendment to the Government of Wales legislation to allow competence to be amended? But one of…

Can I say, Adam, I don't think that is the Government responding to a committee, because my memory is that the Reform Bill Committee didn't say that either in their report? What I think that is is the Government recognising that they're in a difficult…

It's a matter for the Senedd not the Government to determine how scrutiny takes place, and the First Minister, I would've thought, would be very well advised to give evidence to this committee on areas that are within his responsibilities. I'm thinking…

Twelve technical reporting points is an awful lot in a single regulation. The Government's accepted most of them—well, all of them, isn't it, really?

Yes. Look, I'm very happy to have a wider conversation and a wider debate about these things. Perhaps, given the time constraints, Chair, we could ask the Minister to write to the committee outlining some of those, how she would define 'public goods' in this…

Okay. Let me give you an example of perhaps what I mean. There is a new section—I think it's 6A(3)(b)—inserted into the 2016 Act, and that's about what is a public good. Now, 'public good' is a term that's used in many different sectors to mean different…

I'm grateful to you for that, but I think the committee has a somewhat nuanced view, shall we say, about the balance that we are seeing in different pieces of legislation at the moment, in terms of what is on the face of the Bill and, increasingly, where…

Thank you. This Bill contains a wide range of delegated powers. I presume, Minister, you are content—since you published the Bill, I presume you are, but let's put it on the record—that the Bill strikes the right balance between what is on the face of the…

Can I come in on that very quickly before Adam comes in? That means we now have three considerable pieces of legislation passed within a decade or so, or a few decades, managing this area of law. Now, it's reasonable to have all sorts of different pieces of…
