This amendment would give the Minister, not the commission, the power to decide whether a review of the form set out in section 56(1) of the Bill should take place. Most Bills provide for the Minister to request reviews, and do not allow the bodies established under the Minister's aegis to decide that a review is warranted of their own motion. I am withdrawing the amendment but I reserve the right to reintroduce it on Report Stage.
