Thank you for the opportunity to have a moment to examine the amendment proposed.
This amendment does present the department with a number of concerns in that it does create some duplication of what already exists within CEPA, where these activities are already undertaken, and would therefore create some confusion about which act, how to administer, and when. More specifically, as an official I am obliged to indicate that this would create new obligations, and the current resourcing levels would not allow me to indicate that I would be able to deliver these amendments without additional resources.
