Competition and Consumer Protection Bill 2014: Committee Stage
12:25 pm

I cannot accept this amendment. The provision in the Bill is a standard provision, that I, as Minister, may appoint by order a day to be the establishment day of the new Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, and I intend to commence it as soon as possible after the Bill is passed. We should not be putting into primary legislation such matters as a date. The approach is that I will be seeking to move this as rapidly as possible, but I am not accepting this amendment.
