Constitutional Amendment for Mineral Legislation

Summary

Desmond asks whether the proposed legislative approach would amend the Constitution, and the Minister says he cannot answer. Horgan asks whether an amendment would be considered if necessary; the Chair then moves to the next question.

Can the Minister say whether the line being pursued by the Minister, the Parliamentary Draftsman and officials of the Department involves in any way an amendment to the Constitution?

Again, that is a separate question.

Would the Minister be prepared to consider seeking an amendment to the Constitution if such were found necessary?
