People judge Governments by the extent of legislation that is put through. The previous Government had a big majority and there were guillotines about which Deputy Martin complained every week. There was no real pre-legislative scrutiny. That has all be changed and half the agenda is determined by the Business Committee. There are 140 Private Members' Bills backed up and there are no guillotines. There is full and comprehensive pre-legislative scrutiny. Last year there was the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2016, the Health (Amendment) Act 2016, the Water Services (Amendment) Act 2016, the Proceeds of Crime Act (Amendment) 2016, the Misuse of Drugs (Amendment) Act 2016-----
