I move:
That all words after “That” be omitted with a view to substituting the following words: “whilst not declining to give the bill a second reading, the House:
- (1)
- notes the delay in introducing the Accredited Client Program;
- (2)
- notes the waste and cost blow-outs in the associated Cargo Management Re-engineering project;
- (3)
- notes the broken promise to industry regarding the abandonment of duty-deferral;
- (4)
- notes the absence of any security enhancing measures in the Accredited Client Program;
- (5)
- calls on the government to conduct and publish the results of a thorough cost-benefit analysis of the Accredited Client Program, examining both the original duty deferral payment scheme and the revised payment scheme; and
- (6)
- notes the introduction of further legislation to amend provisions that the bill inserts into the Customs Act before the bill has even been passed”.
