Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
This amendment comes from the National Federation of Communications and Culture, and it seeks to provide for consultation regarding exemptions.
We move that the following be added to Clause 11 of the bill:
(a.1) the Commission has held public consultations in accordance with any conditions that its Chairperson may specify;
Our amendment also adds the following paragraph to Clause 11:
(5) The order remains in effect for a period of not more than five years and, subject to this section, may be renewed.
Consultation would provide greater guidance on exemptions and, in turn, limit them.
I'd like to thank the National Federation of Communications and Culture for recommending these important changes to the amendment.
