I move government amendment No. (12):

(12) Clause 67, page 68 (line 31), omit "may", substitute "if the recommended action has not been taken in relation to the product within the recommended time—must".

This amendment relates to what happens when an item that's been on the minister's priority list times out, so to speak. We're essentially replacing the word 'may' with the word 'must' to strengthen the government's posture towards taking action at that point in time.
