Thank you.

I would like to start with the Human Rights Commission with a few points.

The first one is the exclusivity of jurisdiction. You were talking about making sure that there's something in this statute that makes it clear that it doesn't prevent going to the Human Rights Commission at the same time.

I just wanted to make sure of this. Is there anything in the Human Rights Act that, from its side, might pose a barrier? Does the only legal problem come from this bill, or is there potentially something in the Human Rights Act that could prevent people from going both routes?

See context to find out what was said next.
