Forgive me, Mr. Chairman, I have to go from memory here and I don't have the anti-personnel mines legislation in front of me.
We did start with that as the template for some of the provisions in this bill. The offences and things like that are based on it. When we looked at the ministerial powers, we basically tried to keep it simple in the drafting because there's very little that the minister can do. We wanted to make sure that the minister could delegate that to officials, in terms of issuing ministerial orders and placing conditions on them.
There's nothing really more to it than that. If it doesn't correspond to the Anti-Personnel Mines Convention Implementation Act, it may simply be that drafting practice has changed in the interim.
