I move amendment No. 9:

In page 5, line 29, to delete “may” and substitute “shall”.

We are looking for strengthening of the legislation replacing the word "may", which is open-ended and might happen, with "shall" which sounds more like that it will.Similarly, in amendment No. 10, we propose to put in "and" instead of "or", which provides an optional opt-out, whereas "and" means both aspects will be considered.
