(b) Grain classification and standards and whether internationally approved grain testing options, e.g. falling number machines, should be available to growers on request;

(c) Service delivery, including human resources, operating hours and storage capacity of grain receival points;

(d) Export and shipping arrangements, including port access and associated costs;

(e) Grain quality management, including receivals and outturn;

(f) Open and transparent information on all grains, including stock disclosures;

(g) Adequacy of road and transport infrastructure for the grain industry; and

(h) Any other relevant matter.

2. That Standing Order No. 389 be so far suspended as to enable the chairperson of the committee to have a deliberative vote only.

3. That this council permits the select committee to authorise the disclosure or publication as it sees fit, of any evidence or documents presented to the Committee prior to such evidence being presented to the council.

4. That Standing Order No. 396 be suspended to enable strangers to be admitted when the select committee is examining witnesses unless the committee otherwise resolves, but they shall be excluded when the committee is deliberating.
