The proposed amendment to subsection (5)(b) of the new section will have the effect of permanently disqualifying a transport operator from the benefits of the repayment scheme for any breach of mineral oil tax licensing requirements or for any breach of control requirements set down in the mineral oil tax regulations.

Excuse me; I seem to be on the wrong amendment. I have jumped ahead to the second amendment in the name of Deputy Michael McGrath.
