The process for drafting legislation within the Department of Finance is one that involves several levels of review and checks and balances, up to and including my level. And of course that needs to be signed off by the minister before it's recommended to Parliament and included in a bill. Once it's in a bill, of course, there is review not only by Parliament writ large but by this committee and also by the committee in the Senate.
