It would be useful if employers had to provide facilities. The Bill, as drafted, does not oblige employers to provide breastfeeding facilities. The wording in section 8 is unnecessary. Why does the Bill provide that an employer shall not be required to make provisions? If he or she is not required to make the provision anyway, why not leave the section out? Perhaps the section is included to keep some employers represented on the working group happy. It is not good legislative drafting to include a completely unnecessary subsection. It has a negative tone.
