(2) The Tribunal is required to give notice of
any investigation under this Part in a manner that the Tribunal is satisfied
is likely to bring the notice to the attention of members of the public
generally and to the government agency concerned (if any) and, at the
discretion of the Tribunal, to any person or body that may supply or use the
relevant service. The notice (and any report of the investigation) is to
include the terms of any reference by the Minister and of any requirement made
by the Minister under subsection (1).
(3) The Tribunal is required, after
considering any public comments on any such terms of reference, to settle the
final terms of reference in the matter in consultation with the Minister.
(4)
The Tribunal may also report to the Minister on any matter it considers
relevant that arises from an investigation into a matter under this Part. Any
such report may be part of the principal report to the Minister or may be a
separate report.
(5) The fact that a determination of the pricing of a
government monopoly service is in force does not preclude a further
investigation and report on the matter.
(6) An investigation and report with
respect to a government monopoly service or other service may be limited to a
particular part or category of that service or to a particular period during
which that service is supplied or in any other manner.
(7) An investigation
and report may relate to a number of goods or services supplied by the same or
different suppliers.
(8) A report is to include any minority report by a
member of the Tribunal who wishes to make such a report.
