Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2004: Committee and Remaining Stages.
2:00 pm
Brendan Ryan (Labour)
I move amendment No. 7:
In page 4, subsection (8), line 16, to delete "extended or amended" and substitute "amended, substituted or inserted, as the case may be,".
I do not often say this but I am moving this amendment because I have been advised that the phrase "amended, substituted or inserted, as the case may be" is more appropriate than the phrase "extended or amended". I offer this advice to the Minister in the spirit in which it was offered to me — as an attempt to be more precise. We should worry, as we consider this Bill, about the capacity of other people to demand precision from legislation that mere legislators cannot come up with, apparently.
