For the sake of clarity, section 24 (12), which relates to considerations for issuance of a national planning statement, states:

Subsections (2) to (11) shall apply to the amendment or revocation of a National Planning Statement as they apply to the issuance of a National Planning Statement and in the case of an amendment, a reference in subsections (6) to (10) to a draft National Planning Statement shall be construed as a reference to a draft of the proposed amendment.

The section states that those provisions relating to consultation shall also apply to a revocation. The provisions are the same for a revocation as they are for a new statement.
