The Bill is 700 pages long. Normally, the procedure would be that the Minister, as well as any general explanation, would take us through every section of the Bill. Maybe the Minister will surprise me and state that he is going to take us through all 541 sections of the Bill in his 20-minute slot, but I would be highly surprised if that were the case.

It is just indicative of the lack of time and lack of opportunity for proper scrutiny by the House of this Bill of enormous proportions and of huge scope.
