37: Minister may approve code of good faith not recommended by committee
or “The Minister can make rules even if the group of experts doesn't suggest any or if the Minister doesn't like their ideas.”

“Rules for changing or getting rid of the good faith code”

If you want to change or get rid of a code of good faith, you can do it in the same way the code was first approved. This means you use the same steps and rules that were used when the code was created. It’s like if you want to erase or fix something you’ve written, you would use the same pencil or eraser you used to write it in the first place.
