I move amendment No. 134:

In page 58, line 4, to delete "is concerned" and substitute "has serious, significant or material concerns".

What I am trying to outline with this amendment is the nature of "concern". I want to replace the word "concerned" with "serious, significant or material concerns". That is a slightly more robust definition of what a concern may be, a concern that the CEO may have about the governance of an institution, that it should be serious, significant or material.
