I move Democrat amendment (3) on sheet 5272:

(3)    Schedule 1, item 74, page 56 (lines 31 to 34), omit paragraph 95(2)(d).

This amendment opposes the ability of the authority to declare the variation as urgent just because of an impact of trade. We do not agree with that. The government, effectively, elevates the trade interests to a level similar to that of public health and safety, and we think that is inconsistent with section 10 of the objectives of the act.
