TTA Act

[somebody]

Following comments from dwb about Translink needing an approved plan, I thought I'd dig up the legislation.  It seems that dwb is correct.  Section 42 states:
"42 TransLink network plans
(1) TransLink must, at least every four years, prepare, approve
and give the Minister a written network plan about funded
improvements in mass transit services and infrastructure for
the TransLink area.
(2) A network plan can not be implemented unless it has been
approved by the Minister."

Doesn't this undo the whole idea of making TTA a statutory authority, which is only done to provide a degree of autonomy to the bureaucracy.  They would have been better off staying a department or part of a department like they were before.
