Senator Cash, as we canvassed yesterday, there are current arrangements already in place where actual, potential or perceived conflict of interests arise. A director must take a leave of absence from their duties entirely to allow an acting director to be appointed to then perform or exercise the functions of powers. The provisions that we are seeking to amend don't create a new process. They simply make it more effective.
