The next question I have goes to schedule 5. Why are there no accountability provisions which relate back to the minister’s use of the temporary veto power? What measures are there to guard against conflict of interest? Why is it necessary to require the regulator to obtain written permission from the minister before providing permission to export? Those questions are ones I would appreciate an answer to so we can progress the committee stage of this debate.
