Variation of strategic plans

          (1A)  During the period for which a strategic plan is in force, the Minister may request the CEO to give him or her a variation of the plan.

             (1)  The CEO may, from time to time during the period in respect of which a strategic plan is in force, consider whether a variation of the plan is necessary.

                   The CEO may do so on his or her own initiative or as a result of the Minister requesting the CEO to give him or her a variation of the plan.

             (2)  If the CEO considers that the plan should be varied, the CEO may prepare a written variation of the plan and give it to the Minister.

             (3)  Before preparing a variation of a strategic plan, the CEO must consult with the Minister and the Council on the matters proposed for inclusion in the variation.

          (3A)  After receiving a variation of a strategic plan, the Minister must either:

                     (a)  approve the variation; or

                     (b)  refuse to approve the variation.

             (4)  If the Minister approves the variation of the strategic plan:

                     (a)  the CEO must forthwith vary the plan accordingly; and

                     (b)  the variation must be laid before each House of the Parliament within 15 sitting days of that House after its approval by the Minister; and

                     (c)  the plan as so varied continues in force after it is so varied as if it were the original strategic plan.
