‹ Order of Business Competition and Consumer Protection regulations
Summary
Deputy Deering asks when regulations under the Competition and Consumer Protection Act will be made; the Minister says the Act was enacted and will obtain an update on the regulations.
I ask the Minister to update the House on the Competition and Consumer Protection Bill 2014, which was one of the most important pieces of legislation introduced in this House. We have been awaiting regulations under the legislation for quite some time. The Bill regulates the relationship between producers and retailers.
Comment on this
I understand that legislation was enacted last year. An issue arises in respect of the regulations required under the Act. I will get a response for the Deputy on the status of those regulations.
