I want to echo Mr Coe’s comments about the collaborative and collegiate nature of the committee. It has never met in person; it has all been via video. It has worked very well indeed. Politics was put aside for this extraordinary time that required a lot of effort by everybody to get through it. There was a lot of effort in that scrutiny. We have been able to get to the nub of some of the issues that have been presented.
I especially thank Mr Coe as chair. He was very fair in the way that he operated, even if sometimes he did skip over Ms Le Couteur when going to questions and went straight to Mrs Dunne—though I know it was an accident! I appreciate that we all got through it, even though, I think, each of us was on mute at some point, and that is recorded for all people to see.
I commend this interim—hopefully, final—report. There are 40 recommendations in addition to the many other recommendations that we have put forward that I believe are meaningful. Again, I appreciate the good faith with which the government have previously dealt with the recommendations and I am confident that they will do that with this report too.
Question resolved in the affirmative.

Justice and Community Safety—Standing Committee (Legislative Scrutiny Role)—Scrutiny Report 50, dated 25 August 2020, together with a copy of the extracts of the relevant minutes of proceedings.
I seek leave to make a brief statement.
Leave granted.
MS CODY: Scrutiny report 50 contains the committee’s comments on one bill, one piece of subordinate legislation, one national regulation, seven government responses and one private member’s response. The report was circulated to members when the Assembly was not sitting. I thank the committee staff for helping us undertake our scrutiny role over this term and our legal advisers whose tireless work has helped us achieve this. I commend the report to the Assembly.
