Thanks, Mr. Chair. Yes, I, too, have very major concerns around section 51. Look, I'm all for benefits, and even if we have to legislate them, I'm fine with that. It could codify best practice, but this is written in such a broad, vague, permissive fashion it could mean anything. I understand what the Minister has said he intends to do; the problem is he may not be the Minister who develops the regulations in the 19th Assembly. It could be somebody else. It could be me; imagine that.
So the purpose that I heard the Minister talk about earlier was providing clarity, certainty, setting out expectations, all of those good things. That's not what section 51 does. This is the ticking time bomb in the bill. This could allow a Minister to reach back into the exploration phase and require benefits. The way this is worded, there is no specific trigger identified. There is no specific list of benefits. Benefits don't even have a definition in the bill. I've heard what the intentions are, but that's not what this reads.
Just to be really clear, what would be the trigger that would require benefits under section 51? Thanks, Mr. Chair. I'd like to ask that of the Minister. Thank you.
