Another provision is “the contracting party shall, upon request by the Minister, provide the Minister with an assessment as to whether the community benefits from a project”.
Is that too confining? Should we just hear from the contracting party, or should we actually hear from the community as well to get their assessment as to what has been delivered?
As a bit of background, I used to work in the broadcast industry, as my colleague here used to. I worked on promises of performance. I certainly saw licence applications promise the earth, moon, and stars, and all end up playing progressive rock.
It's sometimes what the actual beneficiaries perceive as the benefits. To confine this to the contracting party seems, to me, to be a little bit too narrow.
