I move amendment No. 9 to amendment No. 15:

In paragraph (c)(iii), in the proposed new subsection (11), to delete "shall" and substitute "may".

The purpose of this amendment is to allow for a certain amount of discretion. The section as it is obliges the Minister to send out notices to lead to applications being withdrawn. That could be an unfair determination. It would be more reasonable to use the word "may" rather than "shall".
