Thank you.
We can support this in principle, but we would like to put forward a subamendment. I have copies, but I don't think they will be needed. It's quite simple.
Instead of “non-governmental organization” in both subclause 33(1) and subclause 33(2), we would change that to “third party”.
The rationale is that, at the end of the day, the commission would still have the ability to determine.... Hearing these concerns, complaints or allegations coming forward from other parties is fine. They should be considered, and it sounds like it already happens. We just don't want to limit it to non-governmental organizations.
We think “third party” is cleaner for keeping that ability open.
