The CER views this Bill as untimely and overly restrictive and has devised an alternative approach which combines both interim proposals and long-term goals to achieve appropriate regulation of the sector. The Minister will outline this two-pronged approach. I hope to see that he has taken on board the worthwhile advice of the CER. In the short term the commission has already assumed the role of supervisory regulator for the proposed scheme and taken major steps towards establishing a balanced regulatory system. It has consulted extensively with all interests in the industry and is currently finalising the general criteria, based on internationally recognised quality system standards, which will apply to all electrical contracting regulatory bodies.
