I move amendment No. 3: In page 4, between lines 11 and 12, to insert the following: "(1C) The Minister, in making appointments to the Forestry Appeals Committee, shall consider the skills and experience necessary to undertake appeals of forestry licenses, and shall ensure it has members with experience and skills particularly in respect of biodiversity, water quality, climate change, and environmental legislation.",". Amendment No. 12 is a physical alternative to amendment No. 11, amendment No. 14 is a physical alternative to amendment No. 13, and amendments Nos. 16 to 18, inclusive, are physical alternatives to amendment No. 15.
We have inserted this provision and brought this forestry appeals committee into our forestry system, through the Agriculture Appeals Acts, to do just that.
