In page 15, lines 35 to 37, to delete all words from and including “have” in line 35 down to and including line 37 and substitute the following:“have regard to:
(a) the objective that the members of the Commission appointed pursuant to paragraphs (e), (f) and (h) of section 12(1) will, amongst them, possess knowledge of, and experience in, as many as possible of the matters specified in subsection (7);
