Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the opportunity.
Thank you, witnesses, for enlightening us on some of the legislation.
I noted the basic issue relating to the notice period of up to 90 days. I think I heard you say that the proposed changes are at the discretion of cabinet but only if they are deemed very significant, so there are some pre-conditions.
Before a matter gets to cabinet, are there processes in place that would allow not only for consultation with the various stakeholders, but are there also processes within the different departments that look at all the various options that eventually bring the matter before cabinet with recommendations or what should or shouldn't be done?
