I move amendment No. 1:

In page 3, subsection (2), line 29, after "provisions" to insert the following:

", provided that Part 2 shall come into operation in its entirety on a specified day".

There is something of a contradiction in giving the Minister power in section 1(2) to commence the Bill in an open-ended fashion and to commence different sections at different times. However, the definition of "commencement date" in section 2 presupposes all of Part 2 will be commenced on a specified single date. This drafting amendment seeks to remove the contradiction between section 1(2) and section 2.
