I know the Minister's intentions are good, and I expect the Bill has been thoroughly assessed by the Attorney General, but is the Minister anticipating any legal challenges? The changes being introduced are pretty wide-ranging. The ward of court system needed completely overhauled but there are people transitioning out of it, as the Minister said. I understand from the Minister's remarks that people can still be appointed a ward of court for a short term and then exit the old system and transition into the new system. Is the Minister sure that is legally watertight?
