It is a long time since the explanatory memorandum was published. The Minister for Finance insisted that the memorandum accompanying the Bill should detail the provisions of each section. I do not propose to restate the memorandum section by section. The few adjustments since then have been confined to two areas. One adjustment relates to the role of the commission in legal proceedings arising from members' exercise of their functions as Members of a House or a committee. The other adjustment, which takes up more than a page, is the detailed restatement of the Public Service Management Act which sets out the obligations imposed on the Secretary General and their adaptation to an office independent of the Government.
