They are not looking for changes until they see where the Minister is going with it. Let us be practical about legislation as well. We are leaving it vague with the phrase "reasonable period" and we are putting a more detailed reporting requirement on people who may not have the backup to do that and certainly are not aware that this is coming at them. I want to signal my concerns over "reasonable" and allowing a non-elected body to come up with definitions around that.
