This amendment relates to section 24(10) with respect to the modifications and whether they are deemed minor or not. I have two questions to ask and I will speak to the amendment when I have heard the answer from the Minister of State. Section 24(10)(a) refers to a situation where "it does not substantively or materially alter the draft National Planning Statement". The question, of course, is who decides if it is substantively or materially altering the statement, which is a genuine question.
