I move amendment No. 3:



In page 14, between lines 5 and 6, to insert the following:“(6) Any activity referred to in subsection (5) where relevant activity was suspended shall be reported to the Commission.”.
It is important that the commission is informed of any activity that resulted in work being suspended due to a potential danger. Not only would this allow the commission greater oversight of ongoing petroleum exploration projects, but it would also allow it to update its safety regulations.
