This is not about giving the DAA preference because residents can and will raise issues with the regulator. If they do not have confidence in the regulator, we have a serious problem. I think they will have confidence in the regulator, which is the objective of this legislation. The regulator must then make a decision. This section requires the DAA to prove a case and do a lot of work. It is very burdensome on the authority.
