I will address amendments Nos. 44 and 45, which have been tabled by the Deputy. These amendments seek to allow the board to impose fines as a sanction. We must oppose these amendments as the board cannot impose fines on a registered person.

The ability to impose fines is provided for in section 60 of the Bill, under offences and penalties. I must, therefore, oppose amendments Nos. 44 and 45.
