For instance, the term “a conciliator” was dropped because a conciliator is a person who has been referred to arbitrate over a conflict. That is not the best person who would ordinarily represent one of the parties in the conflict. That was dropped because it did not make sense. He is supposed to be an arbiter and not a person who represents the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
