To be fair, some time ago in response to a request from Members for an extension from three months to a year, the Minister stated the industry has had five years to consider this matter and to get its house in order. However, only two or three months from the legislation's enactment, when Members ask a straightforward question on whether this Bill will necessitate additional inspections, the Minister will not tell them. The Minister must provide Members with a clear statement regarding the proposed inspections and I ask him do so do.
