Amendment (5).

The CHAIRMAN: I am not clear which amendment you are talking about.

It would have been helpful to move amendments (1) to (7) on sheet HV130 together to assist the chamber; however, given that leave was not granted, I move amendment (5) on sheet HV130:

(3) The Emissions Reduction Assurance Committee:

  (a) is not required to comply with section 123D in relation to the requested advice; and

  (b) must not advise the Minister to make the methodology determination unless the Committee has considered any submissions mentioned in subparagraph (1)(c)(ii) of this item that were received within the time limit mentioned in that subparagraph; and

  (c) must publish on the Department's website any submissions received within that time limit.

This is as a minor technical amendment which is part of a series of amendments which will help ensure the smooth and efficient implementation of the Emissions Reduction Fund.
