I move amendment No. 68:

In page 33, line 36, to delete "Authority" and substitute "Agency".

These are very technical amendments. The first is a technical amendment to section 32(3)(c) as it refers erroneously to the authority instead of the agency. This section relates to an application for tracing. It is the agency that is the lead in tracing, and the applications will be made to it. Therefore, it should be it that specifies the manner of the application. There is also a technical amendment to section 38(6), which refers erroneously to the agency instead of the authority. This section empowers the Minister to issue directions to the authority and therefore the wording needs to be amended. It is the authority, rather than the agency, that shall comply with the direction.
