I hope the Assembly will indulge me now as a former Chair of the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee. I do think this is a very important part of the legislation, and when it comes to regulation-making powers, it's natural that other Members perhaps glass over a bit. But this really matters. The way this Bill, if it becomes an Act, will function and will be adapted is pretty much going to be determined by the type of regulation procedures we have. My amendments in this group, amendments 48, 49, 52, 51 and 50, all stem from the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee report for this Bill and provide that regulations made under section 7 and section 13 of the Bill are subject to the superaffirmative procedure.
