I agree with the policy intention of amendment No. 17. It is appropriate that an inspector would operate independently while performing these functions and that they have the experience and competence to perform these functions. However, I wish to review the proposed wording in further detail and, following input from our legal drafters, we will bring forward a revised amendment that will reflect the policy outlined in this proposal.
