I move amendment No. 65:

In page 63, line 5, to delete "A person" and substitute "Subject to subsection (2), a person".

Amendments Nos. 65 and 66 are technical amendments to clarify that an appeal against a determination of the director in regard to participation in an identification programme or a finding that the genetic and non-genetic data are not sufficient to suggest a familial link must be made within an eight-week period. The original text referred to "may" rather than "shall". It is important that there be a clear timeline within which an appeal can be made.
