99 This  does  not  mean  the  government  must  adopt  every  recommendation  the Commission  makes.    The  government  should  evaluate  and  decide  whether  it agrees with particular proposals.  Liaison with the government in the process of developing  a  specific  law  reform  initiative  should  avoid  unnecessary  work  and frustration.  This is recognised in part in Section 7 of the Law Commission Act 1985.  But again, the mechanisms for delivery are not operating as effectively as they might.   The Provision of Drafting Resources to the Law Commission 381.  In   recent   times   there   have   been   serious   discussions   between   the   Law Commission and Parliamentary Counsel Office as to the provision of drafting resources to the Commission.    382.  In the past, relationships between the two organisations have not been as good as  they  might  have  been,  especially  during  the  early  stages  of  the  Law Commission’s  life.    But  now  they  have  become  much  more  settled  and productive.    383.  Traditionally, the Law Commission has either drafted some of its proposals into legislative form from its own resources or retained private counsel with drafting experience   to   do   the   job   for   the   Commission   under   contract.      These arrangements,  useful  as  they  have  been  to  the  Commission,  have  not  always assisted the advancement of its legislative proposals, simply because the people involved are not themselves New Zealand Parliamentary Counsel.    384.  The President of the Law Commission made a written comment to the evaluator on this point: The history of Law Commission reports, with legislation drafted outside PCO, not being  implemented has  given  rise  to  a  public  expectation  that  serious  comment can  wait  until  an  actual  Bill  is  submitted  to  the  House.    The  fact  that  the  Law Commission’s draft has been prepared outside PCO means that the work generally has  at  least  to  be  substantially  reviewed  and  sometimes  redrafted,  entailing substantial waste of public resources. 385.  Parliamentary Counsel has made a bid in the Budget round to secure funds to make a Parliamentary Counsel available to the Law Commission.  This would not  be  on  the  basis  of  a  single  Parliamentary  Counsel  seconded  to  the Commission, but rather a different Parliamentary Counsel would work with the Commission depending on the project for which the drafting was being carried out.
