I move amendment No. 125:
In page 29, line 31, to delete “may” and substitute “shall publicly”.
This is a really tiny amendment. The Bill currently provides that the commission may provide information on the selection procedures and other matters in a statement. This amendment puts an obligation on the commission to publish the information so the public can access it. I do not believe it would be a very onerous task to publish the information on selection procedures if we are talking about transparency and public confidence.
