It is a similar point. Section 58 deals with publication of sanctions and convictions. Subsection (1) indicates that, "The registration body, where satisfied that it is in the public interest to do so," but I would have thought that any sanction or conviction of any construction industry professional is in the public interest to be known. It seems self-evident. I cannot think of any circumstances where a sanction or conviction would not be published. My question to the Minister of State is very specific. In what set of circumstances would it not be appropriate to publish sanctions or convictions against a registered entity?
