Secondly, the committee recommended that the time-limited backstop power given to the Minister of Energy and Resources in the bill be brought forward by one year to help lessen any potential regulatory uncertainty. This backstop power would allow the Minister to amend the code in relation to specified matters if the Minister is not satisfied with how the code addresses the specified matters. It is recommended that the period during which the backstop power may be exercised would now be not earlier than one year after and not later than three years after the date of enactment.
