Electricity Regulation (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
It also strikes me as unusual that the Bill should propose extending the functions of the Commission for Electricity Regulation, while at the same time not reflecting the stated policy and advice of the authority. If we consider that the commission was founded to review and improve the regulatory system in this sector, and in the process has assumed the role of supervisory regulator for the electrical contracting industry, surely we should look to it for advice when seeking to introduce legislation in this area?
