I am happy to accommodate the Senator by way of having a further look at it. My concern is that the effect of the amendment, as drafted, would confine the process to looking only at the recommendation made under section 56(4)(a), namely, the published statement only. It could well have the effect of other recommendations not being considered. I do not believe that is what Senator McDowell wants to do, although it appears to be what Senator Norris wants to do.

I accept Senator McDowell’s point that the sections in question do not appear to be straightforward. I will have the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel examine it.
