That is great; I have a copy in front of me too. It states clearly that legislation cannot be enacted that would have the effect of imposing a charge on the people or the State without the consent of the Government, that is, on Final Stage.

It is an urgent democratic reform that needs to be addressed, not to mention the matter of the extreme use of the money message provisions by the Government to stop legislation such as the Cannabis for Medicinal Use Regulation Bill proceeding to the next Stage.
