In the EM which was tabled there is, at page 42, an indication of the public consultation process. It says:
Before advising the Minister to make or amend a determination, the Committee will be required to publish a draft of the determination on its website and invite public submissions …
We are proposing 60 days for the public to make submissions. This will obviously provide the public with an opportunity to review and comment on draft determinations which provides additional assurance regarding the environmental integrity of any offset methodology determinations. That is at page 42 of the supplementary EM.
