Head 9(1)(c) says, "collect, analyse and report on publicly available price and market data in the agricultural and food supply chain". I note from a number of submissions that there is a concern about the wording "publicly available" because it might hinder the performance of the function. I mean if it is only "publicly available" information then the provision could create issues concerning other information.
Is that something the Minister would consider in terms of the progress of the Bill?
