Another way to look at it is, what is the point of having a land management plan if the landowner chooses not to implement any of it—

Does the transfer test, as proposed in the bill, adequately take into account public interest?

Do you think that the intended five-year timeframe for land management plans is the correct one?

Sure. I appreciate that you are a lawyer, not a land manager.

Calum?

Calum, you mentioned the provision of community sustainability, which I suppose begs the question of what community sustainability is.

Would it be fair to interpret from that that the existing structure is not sustainable in the current international shipbuilding market?

As a board, do you feel that you have a better grip on the future strategy?

Would it be helpful to have a clear and explicit term in the bill, which states that the transfer test is actually a public interest test, in the way that the Land Commission recommended?

Good morning. Having considered the provisions in the bill, are you sufficiently clear about the intent of the land management plans?
