Regarding some of the questions, again, it is stipulated in the Bill as to how the Minister would lay this before the Houses. Section 75 clearly outlines the fact that it will be made online means that is being made available to the public. I have no doubt though that if somebody wanted a hard copy, they could get it printed off in the library.

On the overall Bill itself, I think many in this House would agree that there have been situations in the not-too-distant past that would have benefited from greater structures and oversight than we currently have. While change can be challenging, change can also be good. The Minister still has full accountability. In fact, every single section of this comes directly back to the Minister.
