I move amendment No. 35:

In page 29, to delete lines 19 to 38, and in page 30, to delete lines 1 to 17.

In general, it is a bad principle that people who have operated very successfully in one role defending producers of a product are meant to turn around and become defenders of the consumers of the product. It invites regulatory capture and will not impress the public. The staff dealt with the complaints in an unsatisfactory manner and this is why we have the Bill before us to change it. However, the same people will be coming back to operate the new system.
