This is under the criminal power? Then could you explain why it says in clause 13 of the bill that the Governor in Council--that is, the king--may make regulations generally for the purposes and provisions of this act? Does that mean the king is, by regulation, going to create another criminal offence? Normally the House would never ever allow that to happen, so is this clause to be constrained in some respect, or is the cabinet and Governor in Council going to take it upon itself to create a new criminal offence?
