For the reasons I have given, this Bill qualifies for having post-legislative review as part of its provisions. It would ensure that the Bill is reviewed, including through the assessment of whether the objectives of the Act, once in force, have been achieved and whether they remain appropriate. Having it in the Bill should reassure all those bodies affected by its provisions because they would know that it will be reviewed and that they will have an opportunity to make submissions as part of the review. It is, therefore, in the Government’s interest to have such an assurance in place.
