Re: Text of the Act

Post by Moon Adamant »

[quote="michelmanen":js75xhs6]To ensure that all options will be taken in to account and be seen to be taken into account, I suggest the following text (with the amendment in bold):

We propose that a Judiciary Act Hearing Commission be appointed, under the framework of the also proposed Citizen Participation Bill, to:

1. Investigate the apparent deadlock and determine the reasons for it.
2. Investigate the reasons for public mistrust.
3. Propose eventual modifications [b:js75xhs6](if any)[/b:js75xhs6] to the Judiciary Act to address these issues.

The addition of "if any" after "eventual modifications" makes explicitly clear that such modifications may be proposed, but also reognises the possibility that none may be required. This does not necessarily represent my position, that no modifications at all are necessary; it simply seeks to make explicit in the text of the Act for future members of the Commission who may be in doubt as to the exact meaning and scope of "eventual modifications", that all possibilities, including that of making no changes at all, will be taken into consideration in accordance with the letter of the Act..[/quote:js75xhs6]
