The third paragraph of Professor Crowe's opening statement says, "A key provision of the Bill, perhaps the single most important one ... is for stakeholder consultation and participation throughout the process," and he went on to explain the importance of co-creation. That line almost sounds like he feels that the Bill allows for lots of co-creation and stakeholder participation but his comment a few moments ago seemed to suggest that co-creation and stakeholder participation are a key weakness of the Bill. I ask him to clarify.
