The committee recommended that the bill be passed with amendments. These amendments are consistent with the original policy of the bill but respond to concerns raised in submissions as well as addressing technical issues. The committee recommended several changes to the scope of the covenants that the bill would prohibit, including amending the definition of an "exclusivity covenant" to explicitly include rights of first refusals that a landlord might give a supermarket. This might include a first option to lease or purchase a new site when it becomes vacant. These provisions can have an exclusionary effect.
