Timeframes
45. Should Cabinet agree, I anticipate my officials carrying out the detailed design work on the Task Force proposals through to mid-late 2006. This design work would likely involve Ministry consultation with potential approved professional bodies, the regulator and other stakeholders. A discussion paper proposed for release in the first half of 2006 would also seek public comment on the detail of the regime.
46. I anticipate returning to Cabinet in mid/late 2006 to seek approval to incorporate the policy proposals resulting from this design work into implementing legislation, with introduction of any legislation in the first half of 2007 and the legislation being passed in 2007/2008.
