Ministers, thank you so much for being here with us this afternoon to talk about this legislation.
I would like to follow up on the issue of service level agreements. Maybe I'll get each of you to respond to the question, because you're both coming at it from two slightly different angles.
Certainly in the opposition they've made the suggestion that service level agreements should be in the legislation. There is a clause, clause 8, which states:
The Agency may make regulations specifying what constitutes operational terms for the purposes of paragraphs (1)(a) to (c).
They're talking about having been much more prescriptive in the legislation about service level agreements, whereas this is taking a more regulatory approach.
I would like to ask each of you in turn about some of the reasoning that goes into taking a more regulatory approach rather than a more prescriptive, detailed, legislative approach to something like service level agreements.
