Thank you, Minister. I want to ask about section 24CH(5)(b), which allows for the cessation of an investigation where there has been a withdrawal of consent only where the commissioner deems that it's reasonable and fair. Could you explain to the chamber why a commissioner might proceed with an investigation, even without the consent of a complainant?
