I wish to raise a point in the interest of consistency. Section 13(6) states: "In subsection (3) “jointly certify”, in relation to the review committee, means that all of the members of the committee make the section 13 certification concerned." That provides clarity on "jointly certify", but that paragraph does not appear in sections 7, 8 and 9. For the sake of consistency it should be part of those sections as well. I might be missing something here so perhaps the Minister would clarify it legally. What "jointly certify" means here would also apply to sections 7, 8 and 9, but I cannot see it there.
