The Minister makes a regulation but before it is approved by the House it should be debated in committee. I think my amendment stands valid but the Minister disagrees with it. I am pressing it because I believe it is time we changed this practice. I know this is a hotchpotch way of doing things. I would much prefer it were done in an omnibus fashion, but we have to start somewhere. We have to form a bridgehead on this issue.
