#### 65 Report to be given to Minister in certain circumstances
(1) Where, under subsection 53(4), the Commission has made a request to an employer for particulars of any action proposed to be taken as a result of conclusions or recommendations contained in a report under section 53 or taken or proposed to be taken in respect of a notice issued under section 46 or 47 and:
(a) the employer fails, without reasonable excuse, to provide the particulars within the period specified in the request; or
(b) the action taken or proposed to be taken is not, in the Commission’s opinion, adequate having regard to the duties imposed by the Act and the regulations; or
(c) so far as action not yet taken is concerned—the Commission forms the opinion that the action proposed to be taken as a result of the conclusions or recommendations contained in the report, or proposed to be taken in respect of a notice issued under section 46 or 47, has not been taken within a reasonable time;
the Commission may prepare and give to the Minister a report to this effect, being a report that includes:
(d) a copy of the report under section 53; and
(e) a copy of any response by the employer to that request; and
(f) where the Commission has conducted an inquiry under section 55—the findings of that inquiry.
(2) The Minister must cause a copy of the report to be laid before each House of the Parliament within 15 sitting days of that House after the report is given to the Minister.
