. Objects of Bill in the preamble: The Council for Geosciences is defined as being a "mandatory advisory authority". On the Objects of the Council in section 2(c), the Council is referred to as a "national advisory authority", apparently not "mandatory" in this instance. The definition of the Council as "mandatory" might clash with the role of others as advisors in certain instances, leading to conflict, particularly when the Council did not have high-level expertise in certain specialised fields.
