I move amendment No. 6:

In page 10, between lines 6 and 7, to insert the following:"(2) Any resources used by the Commission shall be allocated by application of a set of priority principles in the public interest.".

It is standard - we need to move away from the standard - that there is quite a lot of reference throughout the Bill in regard to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission that the Minister or the Government sets priorities. This is to ensure that there is another measurement of priorities so that there will be a public interest measurement of the priorities of the commission.
