I won't venture an opinion because I think that would be for the committee's views and for ministers to speak to. I would say that my recollection from having looked at the parliamentary record for the time when the act was adopted is that there was a debate about various elements of the act. Part of the conclusion of the debate seemed to have been that it was beneficial to have a broad scope for possible action to allow the Governor in Council essentially to make decisions in very fluid contexts where a number of things might be at stake.
