Many of the other grouped amendments are technical to ensure consistency throughout the Bill. Amendments Nos. 59, 60, 69, 71, 73, 74, 77, 78, 79, 82, 83, 85 and 86 all have the effect of describing the commission in the singular throughout the Bill, “commission” as opposed to “commissions”. The amendments delete “they” and substitute “it” and delete “believe” and substitute “believes”. It changes all the plural verbs to the singular.
Amendment No. 70 is also technical and proposes to delete “registered” in line 12 of page 13 because it is not required.
