Amendment 119 does not demand that these standards should be put in the Bill but gives the Government the option to introduce regulations should the rollout of the ATRS continue to be so slow. The need for these measures to be required by the Bill is clear from the slow rollout in other countries, such as Canada, where the standard was introduced but its implementation has been very slow. Canada introduced a non-statutory requirement for disclosing ADM models, which was then enforced by an internal government review. However, this process had not been effective. For May 2024, only 21 ADM models were disclosed, whereas more than 300 models are in use by the Canadian Government, according to the Starling Centre, a non-governmental research organisation.
