Thank you very much
for the question. Indeed, what the Seias report did ...
So, let's first start with an issue of the Seias ... the timing of the Seias report.
This was a committee Bill; not a Bill introduced by the executive. Parliament has no rule that requires committee Bills to go through a Seias report. Had the Bill come from Cabinet it would've indeed gone through a Seias process.
Once the committee requested the department to commission such a study, we approached an independent economics firm and they did the study. We have analysed that, and as I've indicated, the study in fact points to both challenges in the Bill but also to remedial steps. Some of the remedial steps that the Seias report points to are ones that we are now following up. For example, it calls for greater oversight of the regulator; it calls for an accurate and an appropriate communication exercise so
