I move amendment No. 57:
In page 18, lines 15 and 16, to delete "who has also attained that age".
These are technical amendments. The provision whereby a person must be over 18 years of age to be a decision-making assistant is proposed to be moved to section 12 to join the other factors that would disqualify a person from being appointed as a decision-making representative. The requirement remains that a decision-making assistant must be over 18 years of age and that an agreement involving a decision-making assistant under 18 years of age would be invalid.
