The way in which the drafting takes place typically, which is the way it took place on this bill, is that drafting instructions are provided. They are, of course, approved by cabinet, and they guide the legislative drafters, who are housed within the Department of Justice. They take instruction from the policy leads, which would be us. My team, the drafters, and I were the ones spending time in the drafting room over the course of this past year, working on the drafting based on the instructions that were laid out.
