I move amendment No. 6:

In page 30, to delete lines 44 to 46, and in page 31, to delete lines 1 to 3.

We believe the provision as it stands is of dubious constitutionality. It allows the Minister to change the law by the executive act of making a declaration. The Minister should come up with a more constitutional way of achieving his objective. He said on Committee Stage that he would consult the Attorney General on this issue.
