It makes sense that the Minister of State should accept Senator Barrett's amendment because the phrase "In nominating the chairperson and the ordinary members (other than ordinary members to whom subsection (2) applies) ... " does not seem to make sense. We should have the best advice. We should have those we want on the advisory council. Subsection (4)(a) seems to exclude them and provides that they cannot be on board. I believe the amendment is worthy of acceptance.
