I feel that this bill indeed does need some drafting because this is a bit of an innovation to ask landowners to make the land available for public inspection and to assume associated risk with tort liabilities with visitors coming on, and that is an important provision of the bill we have to work out, and that to me is one of the reasons why this delay would be in the interest of getting a bill that can meet that requirement as well as others. That is visitor access. This land, I stress, some of it will remain in private ownership, private ownership, which is unique, am I not correct, in the formation of a public park like this?
