As I will not be making regulations to provide for risk equalisation schemes in the future, these subsections are no longer required. As I said, it will be done by way of primary legislation which this and the other House will have ample opportunity to discuss and debate. There is no attempt to diminish in any way the power of this or the other House. If it were, as a legislator, I would not be comfortable with it. On that basis, I do not accept the amendment because it is not necessary.
